The Yankees haven’t found a permanent solution in left field for a while. In a sense of irony, Brett Gardner‘s inevitable age regression has still affected the Yankees, as despite multiple trades at the deadline for high-profile outfielders haven’t turned out the way they wanted.
While we can’t harp over the failed Joey Gallo trade and Andrew Benintendi‘s hamate bone snapping just as he turned the corner, we can look to the future and try to find outfield help for the Bronx Bombers. To say they’ve been bad in left field is an understatement; they currently have both the worst fWAR and wRC+ in baseball out of the position.
