Overview
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that the Yankees and Red Sox checked in with Texas on Corey Seager.
- Subsequent coverage indicates the conversations were preliminary and did not move toward a deal.
- Texas instead traded Marcus Semien to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo, reshaping the Rangers' infield picture.
- Seager delivered elite 2025 production in 102 games and still has six years and about $189 million remaining on his 10-year, $325 million contract.
- The Yankees remain unsettled at shortstop with Anthony Volpe sidelined and Jose Caballero expected to start on Opening Day.
