Yankees News: Mike Tauchman could be traded, outfield depth battling it out

The New York Yankees have a competitive position battle unfolding in the outfield, which has opened up the potential for a trade. Veteran outfielder Mike Tauchman could fit the bill, especially with the emergence of Jay Bruce and the retention of Brett Gardner. This spring training, Tauchman is hitting .269 with three homers and four RBIs. He has looked good over 29 plate-appearances but struggled in 2020 during the abbreviated campaign.

Last year, Mike hit .242 with zero homers and 14 RBIs, striking out 23.4% of his at-bats and recording his first negative WAR since 2018.
