Yankees Not The Only Team Rumored To Consider Yoan Moncada
The Yankees are not the only team rumored to be pursuing Moncada. The former Chicago White Sox Slugger has garnered interest from other teams. It turns out that five teams, including the White Sox, are showing interest in signing Moncada.
The Boston Red Sox are reportedly considering a one-year deal, while the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly targeting him. The White Sox declined Moncada’s $25 million option for next season.
Moncada was out for most of the season due to a left adductor strain. The slugger played only a dozen games and recorded just 11 hits. Despite several teams showing their interest, Moncada will need to prove himself. The Yanks need some extra firepower at the plate, especially with the Mets showing interest in Soto. However, Moncada alone will not be the answer to their solution.
