“#Yankees seem to shut door on Kyle Schwarber speculation<\/strong>”

Talk about bad timing.<\/p>\n

Despite having coveted Kyle Schwarber for years, the Yankees don\u2019t sound interested in signing the slugger now that he\u2019s a free agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, we would expect him to do damage at Yankee Stadium, whether he\u2019s in an opposing uniform or our uniform,\u201d GM Brian Cashman said Wednesday on WFAN\u2019s \u201cCarton and Roberts\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

But while Schwarber has a lefty swing made for the short porch in right field and would help diversify the lineup, the 27-year-old\u2019s subpar outfield defense means he would likely need to DH in the American League.<\/p>\n

There lies the issue, for the Yankees already have $218 million invested in Giancarlo Stanton, whom Cashman said would likely be the DH moving forward due to his injury history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he\u2019s healthy, he\u2019s a beast,\u201d Cashman told reporters of the 31-year-old Stanton before his radio app<\/a>earance.<\/p>\n

The same could be said for Schwarber. He hit 38 home runs and had 92 RBIs in 2019, though he struggled during the abbreviated 2020 season.<\/p>\n

Schwarber was non-tendered by the rebuilding Cubs after hitting .188 with 11 home runs and 24 RBIs in 59 game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

He likely would have made around $8 million next season had the Cubs retained him. Now Schwarber is expected to sign a one-year deal elsewhere with the hopes of cashing in next winter. <\/p>\n

The Yankees initially tried to acquire Schwarber in 2016 when they sent Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs. They instead landed Gleyber Torres, a Chicago prospect at the time.<\/p><\/div>\n
