As the Yankees navigate their infield challenges, former Mets GM Zack Scott suggests potential trade targets including Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who has been performing well with the Pirates. Scott notes that Kiner-Falefa's defensive versatility could bring stability to New York’s infield. He also mentions Rockies' Ryan McMahon as a surprising option, while acknowledging the difficulty in acquiring Cardinals' Nolan Arenado due to St. Louis's success. Additionally, Scott considers Mets' Jeff McNeil as a valuable asset for the Yankees' roster needs.

The Yankees are monitoring their infield closely as Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns from injury, allowing DJ LeMahieu to take his preferred spot at second base. If LeMahieu struggles to maintain performance, the Yankees may have to pursue external help to bolster their infield options and maintain competitiveness.
