While it seems the New York Yankees are going to stick with Greg Bird and Luke Voit at first-base for at least one more season, it can’t hurt to investigate an alternative, and a rather solid one at that.
Options for the New York Yankees at first-base:
Voit emerged as a great option after Bird’s struggled in 2018 — hitting .333 with 14 home runs and 33 RBIs. His hitting ultimately kept him in the lineup and on the field, as Bird is a better defender but a far less productive hitter. Finding a player that can do both is the trick, which is where Wilmer Flores comes into play.
