While they had a fantastic season in 2024, for a team with lofty expectations, falling short in the World Series was a major letdown. Now they must try and keep the key pieces of this year\u2019s team while also improving the roster.<\/p>\n<p>New York\u2019s first big move of the offseason was to lock ace\u00a0<strong>Gerrit Cole<\/strong>\u00a0into the remaining years on his massive $324 million contract. However, it looks like they have decided to move on from second baseman Gleyber Torres and first baseman\u00a0<strong>Anthony Rizzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now the team must fill those two important roles, not to mention re-sign superstar outfielder\u00a0<strong>Juan Soto<\/strong>. The club has been linked to several veteran first basemen on the free-agent market.\u00a0Including one-time NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt. However, in a recent column,\u00a0<em>The Athletic<\/em>\u00a0Yankees reporter Chris Kirshner\u00a0suggested a star player from the\u00a0<strong>Cleveland Guardians<\/strong>\u00a0could soon be a \u201ctop target.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Josh Naylor stats (2024):<\/strong>\u00a0.243 AVG, .320 OBP, .456 SLG, .776 OPS, 31 HR, 108 RBI, 84 R<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-could-the-new-york-yankees-soon-target-a-trade-for-josh-naylor\">Could the New York Yankees soon target a trade for Josh Naylor?<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?w=768\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5105px) 100vw, 5105px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?resize=428,285 428w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?resize=666,444 666w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?resize=196,131 196w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/MLB-ALCS-New-York-Yankees-at-Cleveland-Guardians-24538609.jpg?resize=465,310 465w\" alt=\"New York Yankees insider claims All-Star from AL Central could soon be \u2018top trade target\u2019 to replace Anthony Rizzo - 24\/7 News America\" width=\"5105\" height=\"3403\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cJosh Naylor remains an intriguing option for any team considering him.
