As the trade deadline approaches, the New York Yankees are exploring potential roster adjustments, with a keen eye on Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins. Castro's versatility is a significant asset; he can seamlessly transition between the infield and outfield positions, making him a valuable addition to a Yankees lineup that has been struggling with consistency. Current Yankees players, including DJ LeMahieu, face the possibility of being benched if Castro joins the team, which complicates roster dynamics.

Castro, an All-Star last season, is enjoying a productive year, boasting a .266 batting average with seven homers, while showcasing impressive defensive capabilities at third base. The Yankees must navigate roster decisions carefully, considering whether to part ways with LeMahieu or younger talent like Oswald Peraza. While a deal for Castro may not be a headline-grabbing move, it could provide the Yankees with the necessary flexibility to enhance their infield.
