New York Yankees
June was a tough month for the Yankees.
After holding the best record in MLB on June 14, they experienced a challenging 8-17 run, failing to win any of their last seven series until this weekend’s games against the Baltimore Orioles.
During this period, their lineup struggled significantly with hitting, a situation that must improve if they aim for a championship in 2024.
Luis Rengifo, with a 127 wRC+, could significantly enhance a lineup that has seen poor performances from multiple infielders.
Rengifo’s left-handed swing is particularly well-suited for the short right field at Yankee Stadium. The veteran, who hit 33 home runs between 2022 and 2023, could offer a substantial offensive boost.
While acquiring Rengifo might come at a high cost, the potential offensive improvement and added versatility he brings could be highly beneficial for New York.
