He\u2019s been good enough with the Yankees that Aaron Boone said, \u201che\u2019s on the short list of short lists for being the best player in the sport.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Masahiro Tanaka<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The seven-year $155 million deal that landed Tanaka in The Bronx from Japan is over. He was quick to decline an opt-out following the 2017 season and seems a strong candidate to return, but his reputation as an impressive postseason pitcher took a hit with two straight duds in these playoffs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brett Gardner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite rough stretches during the regular season, Gardner again showed his value by being one of the Yankees\u2019 most reliable bats during the playoffs, and it helps that he\u2019s one of the only left-handed hitters on the roster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>J.A. Happ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lefty had a vesting option for next season that won\u2019t kick in, and Happ had a rough season in The Bronx \u2014 from publicly wondering if the Yankees were manipulating his starts to prevent him from reaching his incentives to expressing his displeasure with how he was used in their ill-fated pitching plan in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> 2 of the ALDS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Paxton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The injury-prone southpaw never made it back for the Yankees after suffering an elbow injury and hits the open market at an inopportune time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manager\"><\/span>Manager <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Boone has a team option for a fourth season in the Yankees\u2019 dugout, and all indications are that he\u2019ll be back, but another October disappointment doesn\u2019t help his cause \u2014 especially after he was outmaneuvered by Tampa Bay\u2019s Kevin Cash.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Catcher\"><\/span>Catcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What do the Yankees do with Gary Sanchez? He\u2019s due to get a raise from $5 million in arbitration and is coming off a horrific season in which he hit .147, performed poorly behind the plate despite a new catching coordinator then lost his starting spot to Kyle Higashioka in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miguel_Andujar\"><\/span>Miguel Andujar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Remember him?
