The Yankees have a few players on the roster who could be viewed as trade bait once the lockout ends and the off-season once again picks up. With Spring Training ready to begin and Opening Day quickly nearing, the owners and players union desperately need to find a middle ground before the impact becomes extreme.

The Yankees were quiet before the lockout, failing to make any big acquisitions and waiting patiently for their time to strike in free agency 2.0. However, general manager Brian Cashman could also look to the trade market to bolster several positions, and one player that makes a lot of sense to depart is Miguel Andújar.

CBS coined Miguel Andujar as a player who needs a change-of-scenery, stating:

The 2018 AL Rookie of the Year runner-up has been limited to 78 big-league games by injuries and demotions the last three years, and he’s blocked at third base (Gio Urshela), first base (Luke Voit or a post-lockout addition), left field (Joey Gallo), and DH (Giancarlo Stanton) in New York. Miguel Andújar badly needs a fresh start with a team that can give him everyday at-bats at one set position. With the Yankees, he’s not much more than a role player who bounces around.
