The bigger question to me o is why are the Yankees pursuing OF at all.
Now that they have (questionably) tendered Sanchez, they have Gallo, Judge, Stanton and Sanchez and only 4 positions to play them in.
Unless they think Suzuki - who has considerable infielder experience - can handle shortstop, he’s not filling their primary need. And the overwhelming bulk of his infield experience is not at shortstop, with only 67 games there out of over 1,000 games in his career to date.
I think the Yankee interest in Suzuki is probably nothing more than due diligence, and they are far more likely to pursue Correa or Story to round out their lineup…
