I haven't heard anything like that. He's very well liked in the franchise, and most nights he's their best defender by a pretty decent margin.
To me, Schmidt most easily replaces Yandles' skill set.
While I think Yandle has been pretty good here offensively, he doesn't play a very strong defensive game still. Schmidt at least does a bit of both.
