It’s been a long season for the Yankees. With their FanGraphs’ playoff odds dwindling into the mid-teens, and a lack of new assets thanks to some trade deadline inaction, it’s time to take stock of just how much every player on a roster full of aging veterans will contribute going forward. The likes of Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu are all on the books for at least next season; how much can they reasonably be expected to produce?
The remaining length of this season, though it may mean prolonged suffering for the fans, is also positive in that there’s still ample time for any of these guys to put together a hot stretch and carry some momentum into next year.
