Over the last two seasons combined, the 33-year-old has posted a disappointing .685 OPS with 16 homers and 41 stolen bases. Cashman has said that there has been at least talk about potentially breaking up the more productive Brett Gardner and Ellsbury at the top of the order. Ellsbury is on the books through 2020 at $21.1 million annually before the team has a $21 million option ($5 million buyout) in 2021.
