The Yankees are facing the possibility of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and one of the reasons for their struggles is the combination of Carlos Rodon and Luis Severino. Severino is once again on the injured list with a strained left hamstring, adding to his history of injury issues. This raises questions about how the Yankees will handle Severino's situation both in the present and during the offseason.
with a strained left hamstring. Last season with the Giants was the only time in Rodon’s career in which he made all of his starts without missing time due to injury — and still that was just 178 innings. Rodon was a bad bet, but the kind the Yankees make far too often with red-flag players. The Yankees will state they are underperforming and cite injuries, but they keep enlisting players likely to be injured.
In this week’s “roster stuff maybe I only notice,” I wonder about what Severino’s status is for the rest of this season — and a little about his future, too.But the question is who steps in, especially because either Jhony Brito or Randy Vasquez already has to step in for Rodon? Do the Yankees want to have two rookies plus Schmidt going round and round to try to make the playoffs? The correct answer might be that they would not be worse than Rodon and Severino.
Abreu is the easiest to dispatch. The Yankees have carried him all season as the last man in the bullpen, trying to avoid putting him in high-leverage situations while seeing once more if they could harness his high-octane stuff. Ron Marinaccio, Nick Ramirez and Greg Weissert have options and can move up and down as needed, if the Yankees jettison Abreu.
Maybe not. The qualifying offer was $19.65 million last season, and the expectation is it will rise to around $22 million for the 2024 season . That just might be too much for Severino. Of course, even if Severino were to pitch well from here going forward, it is no sure thing the Yankees would even extend the qualifying offer. They just might decide they have run their course with Severino and would prefer to redirect their dollars toward a different starter. For example, Sonny Gray is a free agent .
So let’s just think about which of the duo you would want moving forward. Both have battled injuries this season, but Verlander has produced the better overall numbers, and in his last eight starts had a 1.64 ERA and a .191 batting average against. But what about directly behind Acuna? There will be intrigue in what voters value in deciding Most Valuable. How much do you respect Wins Above Replacement, and how do you decide how to vote when two players from the same team are having seasons with similarly high values?
Though the Padres have been inconsistent as a team, Ha-Seong Kim has played himself into the MVP conversation.But a few things: Among the reasons I personally use WAR as a tool to assess a season rather than a defining metric is that the two main purveyors — Baseball Reference and Fangraphs — do not have the same formula. In the Fangraphs version, Kim is sixth in WAR in the NL at 4.2 — and among those he is behind is Padres teammate Juan Soto.
Meanwhile, Freeman has this title for me: The guy I would want at the plate if all of my money was on the table. There are lots of good choices. Acuna, Houston’s Yordan Alvarez, Miami’s Luis Arraez. I just think that no one can hit top-end stuff with Freeman’s consistency. He has at least a .966 OPS at home, on the road, vs. lefties, vs. righties and with runners in scoring position. He is a metronomic hitting genius.
For want of a better term, Green played a position that is heavily abused, no matter how careful a manager is. In a way, Green’s good health for most of the time he was a Yankee ultimately was a detriment.
