The Yankees added some infield depth on Sunday morning, agreeing to a deal with veteran Paul DeJong.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, DeJong is joining the Yankees on a minor league deal that includes an invite to major league spring training.
DeJong, 32, began his career by playing seven seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, earning his lone All-Star appearance in 2019. Since 2023, the infielder has bounced around to a handful of teams, including 57 games with the Washington Nationals in 2025.
Over the course of nine major league seasons, DeJong has a career slash line of .229/.294/.416 with 146 home runs and 423 RBI. And while he came up as a shortstop, DeJong has played all over the infield, so he’d provide some versatility for a Yankees team that knows shortstop Anthony Volpe likely won’t be ready to start the 2026 regular season.
