New York Yankees: Money Could Prevent Pursuit Of Desired 1B

Since the start of the 2016 season, no team has performed worse at the first base position (offensively) than the New York Yankees.

Yankee first basemen own a .235/.314/.385 slash line in that span with a wRC+ of 86 — the worst among Major League teams — thanks to a sub par season from Mark Texeira last year, multiple Greg Bird injuries and back-ups forced to step in.

While Chase Headley stepped in and is performing up-to-par in 44 games since moving primarily to first base (.326/.402/.563 slash line since July 20), 2018 very well could experience a fall-off yet again.
