The New York Yankees have taken a step to increase the depth of their infield. Josh VanMeter is a dynamic infielder/outfielder that the Yankees have signed to a minor league contract, according to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
VanMeter played in the minor leagues for the whole 2023 season. Since 2022, when he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and slashed.187/.266/.292 with a.558 OPS, three home runs, and 14 RBIs in 67 games, he has not had an appearance in the major leagues. VanMeter has batted.206 with a.640 OPS in 743 at-bats throughout his four big-league seasons.
VanMeter, 28, can play both second base and the corner outfield positions, adding versatility to the Yankees’ depth. This isn’t the most spectacular move, but it gives the Yankees more depth in the higher minor league ranks.
