The New York Yankees released two-time MLB batting champion DJ LeMahieu, ending his seven-year tenure with the team, they announced Thursday.

DJ LeMahieu won three Gold Gloves with the Colorado Rockies and another with the New York Yankees. But his range has been diminished by injuries in recent years.

The New York Yankees could look to swing some huge trades this year. They might have to cut ties with their top prospect to land the players they want.

Releasing former All-Star DJ LeMahieu was clearly the beginning of something for the New York Yankees. LeMahieu was clogging up second base in New York, which needed to be opened up for Jazz Chisholm Jr.

The New York Yankees have a few ways to go at the trade deadline, but certain areas are much more important to fix than others. Among those is replacing DJ Lemahieu, an excellent veteran who is no longer what he once was.

Anthony Volpe scored with an acrobatic slide on Aaron Judge's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, and the Yankees rallied past Seattle after being no-hit for seven innings.
