Revisiting the Mike Tauchman for Wandy Peralta trade

On April 27th, the Yankees put an end to Mike Tauchman’s two-plus-season tenure in New York by swapping him for Giants left-handed reliever, Wandy Peralta. At the bottom of the Yankees’ totem pole of outfielders, Tauchman seemed unlikely to be called upon often assuming any modicum of success from the handful of players above him on the depth chart.

Unfortunately, the Yankees’ outfielders have combined for a total of 1.7 fWAR on the season, the eighth-worst mark amongst outfield groups in the majors. That total looks even worse when considering the fact that it drops to -0.
