THE Yankees are starting to make calls in search of a third baseman. 

It’s an unusual situation, where their current third baseman, Jazz Chisholm Jr., is arguably their second-best player. But they also know he belongs at second, where he’s Gold Glove caliber. Plus, they also obviously know for-the-moment second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who prefers 2B to 3B, isn’t what he was. 

There aren’t a ton of teams needing a third baseman (Cubs? Angels? Dodgers?) but there also aren’t many slam-dunk solutions. Here’s our list of possibilities.

1. Ryan McMahon, Rockies

The Yankees checked in on McMahon, according to sources, and the often trade-averse Rockies will listen. He’s playing well after a putrid start likely affected by all the putridity around him (.828 OPS since May 1). Has reasonable $37M to go through 2027.
