Yankees Acquire Max Schuemann from Athletics for Infield Depth

The New York Yankees acquired infielder Max Schuemann from the Athletics on February 9, 2026, in exchange for minor-league pitcher Luis Burgos. Schuemann, 28, a versatile right-handed hitter, played six different positions for the A's over two seasons, batting .212 with 21 steals in 234 games. With three minor league options remaining, he's expected to compete for a utility/bench spot, providing crucial depth for the Yankees, especially with Anthony Volpe sidelined.
