The New York Yankees have not had much luck with the major American League awards in recent years. Their last MVP was Alex Rodriguez in 2007, their last Cy Young Roger Clemens in 2001, and last ROY Derek Jeter all the way back in 1996. Chances are they aren’t going to end any of those droughts this year, but they do have a few players who will get consideration.
Most Valuable Player
It should come as no surprise to anyone who watched this team all year that they have no strong contenders for this category. One guy who is sure to get at least one down-ballot vote though is rookie sensation Gary Sanchez, who single-handedly kept the Yankees in contention until the final games of the season.
