The New York Yankees started the year with Jazz Chisholm Jr. playing second base. However, he has played in the hot corner since DJ LeMahieu's return.

The path forward for the Yankees is crystal clear. They need to engineer a trade for a quality third baseman that can move Chisholm back to second base on a permanent basis. Here are the best three options available to GM Brian Cashman and his staff ahead of this year's MLB Trade Deadline.

Jazz Chisholm is better at second than third, while DJ LeMahieu has shown he has no range at this stage in his career. As a result, the Yankees have two negative defenders.
