Of course, given their stable and strong performances over the past few seasons, if the Yankees want to sign either of these two players, they're sure to have to shell out a contract with a long term and an average annual salary close to $30 million.
Moreover, whether it's Arenado or Machado, neither of them are known for having a good temper, and just figuring out how to integrate them into the team will require head coach Don Mattingly to put in a lot of effort.
The second issue is the on-base stability during offense—if you take a closer look at the hitters within the Yankees, you'll find that most of them are famous for their explosive power, high strikeout rates, and reliance on long hits.
It's not that this type of hitter is bad, but a team cannot have only this one type of player, otherwise, it's easy to be deliberately targeted by the opponent's formation.
