Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Josh Harrison

Back in 2014, little-known second baseman Josh Harrison exploded onto the season with the Pittsburgh Pirates, putting up a 137 wRC+ and 4.8 fWAR in his first full season in the majors. Since then, however, things have gone a little downhill for Harrison. In over a decade of experience, Harrison has slashed .274/.318/.401 with a below average 96 wRC+, dismal 4.3 percent walk rate, and surprisingly good 15 percent strikeout rate. In that time, he has been good for 12.3 fWAR. I think it’s safe to assume Harrison’s days as a starter are likely over, unless he finds himself on a basement dweller like the Baltimore Orioles.
