Thirty-eight-year-old slugger Matt Holliday is familiar with bouncing between teams. He has spent much of his successful career in a variety of places, with his latest landing spot being the 2017 season with the New York Yankees.
Among the offseason rumblings, Holliday’s name has been noticeably absent. After signing a one-year, $13 million deal to don the pinstripes in 2017, Holliday has vanished.
And it wasn’t just to hide from his lackluster season. Holliday came into the Bronx in the full-time designated hitter position to miss the end of June, beginning of July and all but three games in August due to illness and then injury.
