Sonny Gray needs all the help he can get in 2018. His 4.98 ERA would be the worst of his career if it weren’t for his injury-marred 2016 campaign. The people meant to be helping Gray win baseball games might actually be the ones causing some of the problems.
The Yankees defense has not been inherently bad. In fact, you could actually make the case that they have been quite good. They are tied with the Astros for 6th in the majors in DRS, thanks largely in part to Brett Gardner and the outfielders.
