New York Yankees: What will the team do with Miguel Andujar?

The New York Yankees had one of the best young hitters in the game back in 2018. Miguel Andujar, a homegrown prospect with amazing bat-to-ball skills and some game power, finished second in th American League Rookie of the Year race behind Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani.

That season, Andujar slashed .297/.328/.527 and had 27 home runs, 76 total extra base hits, a .361 wOBA and a 130 wRC+. His defense at third base was awful, but he did more than enough with the stick to, well, stick in the New York Yankees’ long-term plans.

However, he suffered a torn labrum early in the 2019 season and everything has gone downhill since then.
