The Yankees trading from a position of strength is riskier than it seems

The Yankees have a number of questions to address during the offseason, with many of them revolving around what to do with players who are competing for a spot in the starting lineup. With the emergence of Gary Sanchez, at-bats might be hard to come by for Brian McCann. Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury also have several outfielders in Double-A and Triple-A who are eying their spots. Then there is somewhat of a logjam at first base, with Greg Bird, Rob Refsnyder, and Tyler Austin all competing for the job.
