A few weeks ago we were trying to figure out how the Yankees would manage the “logjam” in the outfield. It was one of the reasons some people didn’t want the team to sign Bryce Harper. They employ six players who could make a legitimate claim to a major league roster spot in Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Hicks, Brett Gardner, Clint Frazier, and Jacoby Ellsbury. Obviously, the case is a bit murkier for the latter two.
Still though, the team’s problem was figuring out how they would manage this many bodies.
