He did just have surgery on his groin, hes 36 years old, and had a broken hand. His defensive skills and hitting have both been on a sharp decline.

The Yankees are not one of Verlander, Rodon or Judge away from beating the Astros in the playoffs.
36 and 69. The age of Maldanado and the # of MLB innings combined at catcher between Lee and Diaz.

[MEDIA] This is a great watch on the Astros farm system.
[MEDIA] A far better source. Honestly, if Ben Verlander isnt even tweeting about it, i think it can be confirmed false.
