It’s only been a few years since Yankees fans on social media were convinced they could parade Brandon Drury as the centerpiece of every big trade they concocted, including some who laughably believed their team could package him for Jacob deGrom. The hope among fans was that he could help the team land the missing piece to help make their World Series dreams a reality. The Yankees eventually packaged him to get J.A. Happ, and they were bounced by Boston in the ALDS.
Before joining the Yankees, Drury actually looked like he had a promising career ahead of him.
