And yet, a closer look at the Yankee payroll shows that the most famous professional sports franchise in American history has been utterly screwed by lady luck in 2019. In Giancarlo Stanton alone, a player who has seemingly injured every part of his body in succession, the team has lost $13 million in payroll...and that's assuming Stanton actually makes it back in June, which is not at all guaranteed. And he's just the very expensive tip of a very deep iceberg. The full list is borderline ridiculous, and includes players making a lot of money (Stanton, Luis Severino, Troy Tulowitski, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Aaron Hicks have all missed time or continue to miss time, and represent five of the team's top seven earner), players making a very significant amount of money (CC Sabathia, Didi Gregorius, Dellin Betances, and James Paxton are all pulling in between $7 and $11 million this year), and players who should be making a lot of money but aren't arbitration eligible yet (the great Aaron Judge, Miguel Andujar, and Clint Frazier).
