The New York Yankees previously explored acquiring Washington Nationals center fielder Jacob Young, according to Joel Sherman of The New York Post. The 27-year-old outfielder is coming off a career-best offensive campaign in 2026, hitting 10 home runs with 50 RBIs and a .708 OPS across 140 games for Washington.
