In the words of the late Yogi Berra, “It’s deja vu all over again.” You’ve read all the comparisons between 2013 and the current Yankees season — and for good reason. The Yankees went into 2013 expecting big contributions from Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, and Kevin Youkilis, and instead received them from Lyle Overbay, Jayson Nix, Vernon Wells, and a turnstile of middle infielders and designated hitters. In 2019, big things were expected from Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Andujar, Gary Sanchez, and Aaron Hicks, but the team has instead had to turn to Clint Frazier, Mike Tauchman, and Gio Urshela.
Despite similarities, the Yankees are built on a stronger foundation than in 2013
