Yankees have found a perfect strategy in left field

The New York Yankees, along with General Manager Brian Cashman, may direct their focus towards the left field position as the trade deadline approaches.

Over the past several years, they’ve been unable to secure an above-average player for the left field (LF) spot. They’ve instead adopted a rotational strategy featuring Oswaldo Cabrera, Jake Bauers, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

In reality, the Yankees lack a solid starter in this position and have been leveraging an intriguing strategy to determine the most suitable player for each match.

Despite Kiner-Falefa’s impressive performance over the past two weeks, the team continues to maximize his utility value, even assigning him to center field in the absence of Harrison Bader.
