The New York Yankees are facing a critical offseason, particularly at first base after declining Anthony Rizzo's option. With limited internal options, the Yankees are exploring free agency for a solid replacement.

Christian Walker, a standout defensive first baseman from the Arizona Diamondbacks, has emerged as a prime target. His impressive stats, including 95 home runs over three seasons and three Gold Glove awards, make him an appealing choice for New York as they seek to bolster their roster.
