After the season ended, the Yankees confirmed that it was a priority for them to keep the infielder. This was confirmed by Aaron Boone, the team’s manager, in mid-December.
LeMahieu has become a staple for the Yankees in the most recent two seasons. In 2020, he became the Major League Baseball batting champion by hitting .364 with 10 home runs and 10 doubles in 50 games, numbers that allowed him to finish third in the race for the Most Valuable Player award in the American League.
