A new prediction suggests the New York Yankees may swing a trade for Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung to replace Ryan McMahon. The report, published by Baseball Now via Yahoo Sports on November 10, 2026, identifies Jung as a primary target for the Yankees' infield needs.
Jung, an All-Star third baseman for the Rangers, would presumably fill the void at the hot corner if McMahon departs. The 26-year-old has established himself as a cornerstone piece for Texas with his offensive production and defensive capabilities.
The Yankees have been linked to infield upgrades throughout the offseason, and Jung's profile fits their reported search for a long-term solution at third base. However, acquiring the Rangers' young star would likely require a significant return package, and no official negotiations have been confirmed by either organization.
