The New York Yankees might soon face some tough choices if their high-cost veterans continue to underperform. While slugger Giancarlo Stanton has started to turn his season around, the team is still waiting for consistent contributions from Josh Donaldson and DJ LeMahieu.
Donaldson might be hitting home runs at an incredible rate, but with just 15 hits this season and an alarming lack of base hits, his performance is underwhelming. It might be time to reconsider his role as the third baseman, potentially reducing him to a rotational player.

In Donaldson’s place, the Yankees might turn to DJ LeMahieu or Isiah Kiner-Falefa (IKF), with the latter seemingly performing better.
