The New York Yankees finally — finally — found an outfield mix that works in 2025, with Trent Grisham emerging as one of the clutchest Bombers in years and Cody Bellinger proving to be an essential glue guy/Aaron Judge assistant (don't ask about left field).
But for years — again, years — the Yankees dealt with injuries by trotting out unacceptable depth pieces like Willie Calhoun, Billy McKinney, Tim Locastro, and Miguel Andújar in a left field experiment for the ages. In 2024, they started Alex Verdugo relentlessly, even as they were hammered over the head with below-average results.
