It’s impossible to replace an MVP-caliber player. Just ask the 2018 Yankees. Aaron Judge has been out more than a month with a fractured wrist following a hit by pitch against the Royals. His replacement should have been Clint Frazier, who has dealt with concussion issues all year. Jacoby Ellsbury could have picked up the slack, but he was shut down for the season. Enter Shane Robinson.
He’s been the Yankees worst player since joining the team, and perhaps most damning of all can’t be counted on to play a solid defense.
