He has 307 starts at second base in his career and has a minus-seven\u00a0outs above average. However, Torres\u2019 departure leaves the Yankees in need of a leadoff hitter. There are not many leadoff hitters better than Arr\u00e1ez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 27-year-old has 409 games in the leadoff spot. He\u2019s posted a .323 batting average and a .364 on base percentage when leading off,\u201d wrote Nolan. \u201cWith runners in scoring position, Arraez holds a staggering .369 batting average.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arr\u00e1ez will be a free agent after this season and the Padres could be looking to get some return before he potentially walks. He would not be a cheap addition, but if the Yankees see him as a long-term option they might be willing to pay the price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiving up prospects is always a risk, but the Yankees have a window to win a World Series now. They have one of the best pitching staffs in\u00a0MLB, with Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, and Luis Gil headlining,\u201d wrote Nolan. \u201cThe lineup looks very good, but it could use one more piece. Arraez leading off in 2025 for the Yankees would be the perfect way to complement (Aaron) Judge and the rest of the sluggers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees let Gleyber Torres sign with the Detroit Tigers.
