Yankees linked to trade for Corey Seager to replace Anthony Volpe

Shocking reports have started to surface in Major League Baseball, suggesting the Texas Rangers could move on from Corey Seager. 

Trading Seager would come as a big-time surprise for the Rangers, but anything is possible around this league. Unfortunately, for Seager and the Rangers, a lot of this is likely due to some of the injuries he's dealt with over the past few years. 

While trading Seager might not be a smart decision long-term, the New York Yankees could benefit from adding a player of his caliber. 

With Anthony Volpe struggling mightily over the past few years, a player of Seager’s status would go a long way. 

Is a Seager trade possible for the Yankees?

Some seem to believe that it could happen, including Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer, who named the Yankees as one of the potential landing spots in a deal for the left-handed hitting shortstop. 

“Seager's trade value is tricky. Yes, he's been good for at least 5 rWAR per year since 2023. But he's also 31 and has only averaged 115 games played in this same span, so the risk of a sudden decline is real...

“To this end, it would make the most sense if the Rangers swapped Seager for a controllable arm who could further establish them as a pitching powerhouse in 2026, plus a well-regarded prospect who could one day take his spot as a lineup centerpiece,” he wrote.

When examining what Seager has done over the past few years, outside of not playing in a ton of games, appearing in less than 125 in each of the past three seasons, he's always been one of the better players in baseball in his time on the field. 

He's hit 84 home runs in 1,32 at-bats and has posted a ridiculous 18.3 fWAR in just 344 games.
