Yankees predicted to sign $16M Gold Glover to fill void after Anthony Volpe’s injury news<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New York Yankees<\/a> are coming off a rather disappointing season, feeling as though they could have accomplished more than they did. One of the most frustrating spots last year was the shortstop position, and now Anthony Volpe will miss the start of the 2026 season.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Volpe won’t swing a bat for at least four months and will be unable to dive on his surgically repaired left shoulder for six months. Cashman added that the Yankees hope Volpe will be ready ‘sometime in April; maybe, worst-case scenario, May.’ The Yankees open the 2026 season in San Francisco against the Giants on March 25,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Jorge Castillo wrote.<\/p>\n

With Volpe sidelined and questions lingering about his readiness, the Yankees are expected to explore the market for a short-term \u2014 perhaps even insurance \u2014 shortstop. Ha-Seong Kim is a name to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they sign Kim this offseason, they’ll be able to plug both Caballero and Kim into multiple roles as the week unfurls. They’ll have more opportunities to get creative. And, yes, they’ll have a Gold Glover who can play shortstop on days when Caballero slots in elsewhere, plus a right-handed platoon solution for Ryan McMahon,\u201d Yanks Goes Yard\u2019s Adam Weinrib wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kim officially became a free agent earlier this week when he opted out of his player option with the Atlanta Braves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cKim became a free agent on Monday when he opted out of his $16 million option for the 2026 season. For the Braves, this simply erases the exclusive negotiating rights they held since they had claimed the former Gold Glove Award winner off waivers from the Rays on Sept. 1,\u201d Braves insider Mark Bowman wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kim was at the top of his game when he was with the San Diego Padres<\/a>. If he can return to that form, he has the potential to be an everyday starter.<\/p>\n

Now, the Braves could make things difficult for the Yankees. Kim\u2019s market will be more intriguing if he is guaranteed an everyday role, making this offseason battle a challenging one for New York to win<\/p>\n
