New York Yankees players reportedly rejected analytics advice

Reports indicate that several New York Yankees players, including Jazz Chisholm Jr., Trent Grisham, and Ryan McMahon, showed little to no interest in utilizing analytical data provided by the franchise's coaching and front office staff. This lack of buy-in comes amid a period of roster evaluation following a disappointing American League Division Series exit.

The team faces significant offensive challenges in the upcoming offseason, particularly at second and third base. The Yankees ranked near the bottom of the league in weighted On-Base Average (wRC+) at these positions, with Chisholm's performance regression contributing to the deficit. As Chisholm and Grisham approach free agency, the organization is expected to address holes in the lineup, with potential targets such as Luis Arraez or Bo Bichette being discussed to bolster the infield.
