MLB insider dismisses Pete Alonso to Yankees rumors - Source: Imagn
The New York Yankees are reportedly shopping first baseman after they seemed to suggest that their newest trade acquisition, Cody Bellinger, will play center field, allowing captain Aaron Judge to get back to right field.
This leaves them with few options for the position. Christian Walker and Pete Alonso are the best players available at the position, with Paul Goldschmidt also in the fray but he is 37, which means with him a short-term deal is more likely.
MLB insider Robert Murray appeared on Thursday's episode of the "Baseball Insiders" podcast with Adam Weinrib, where the duo discussed the Yankees' search for a first baseman. Murray feels Alonso's reunion with the Mets or any other team is more likely than the Yankees signing him.
