A few weeks ago, Esteban Rivera broke down the then-recently released ZiPS projections for the 2023 Yankees. We’re less than a month away from pitchers and catchers reporting and the offseason is beginning to wrap itself up, so I thought we might take a look around the AL East and see what ZiPS foresees the Yankees contending with this coming season.
Let’s go position by position.
Catcher
Adley Rutschman (4.7 WAR); Alejandro Kirk (3.7 WAR)
Yankees: Jose Trevino (1.3 WAR)
Lol. Lmao, even. Welcome to the new AL East — It’s Adley Rutschman’s world, and we’re living in it.
