Yankees consider trading for Matt Chapman to strengthen third base

The New York Yankees are reportedly looking to trade for third baseman Matt Chapman this summer. The Yankees previously acquired Ryan McMahon for the position but have not seen desired results. They are one of three teams, alongside the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals, that could pursue Chapman, who is producing solid offensive numbers and offers strong defense. Demand for Chapman may stem from the San Francisco Giants' intent to sell high-priced players. The Yankees' struggles at third base in recent years underline their need for improvement in this area.
