An MLB insider has raised concerns about the potential fit of Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager in a hypothetical trade to the New York Yankees, drawing parallels to the injury history of slugger Giancarlo Stanton and suggesting that Aaron Judge may face similar "big man" injury risks.
The commentary, reported by College Sports Network's Karan Tyagi on November 10, 2026, questions whether adding another large-framed power hitter like Seager would exacerbate the Yankees' existing injury vulnerabilities, particularly with Judge and Stanton already on the roster.
Seager, a two-time All-Star and World Series MVP, is under contract with the Rangers through 2031. The Yankees have not publicly expressed interest in acquiring the 30-year-old infielder, and any such move would involve significant financial and roster considerations.
