The New York Yankees‘ performance in the MLB this season has caught many by surprise, particularly with several trades falling through and free-agent acquisitions not delivering as expected. Their financial allocation has been questionable, with more funds directed towards injured list players rather than those significantly impacting the win column.
Notably, Carlos Rodon, despite his whopping $162 million deal, delivered a disheartening 5.90 ERA this season, marking his poorest performance since his MLB debut in 2015.
Added to this list of underperformers are Frankie Montas and Josh Donaldson. Both made minimal field appearances this year.
