FACTS/FLUKES: Holliday, Verlander, Sandoval, McHugh, Maybin

Yankees hoping it’s Holliday time...Even with a series of trades designed to infuse the team with youth, the Yankees occasionally sign an aging veteran to fill a need. Next up, Matt Holliday (DH, NYY), who signed a one-year deal as a free agent. While Holliday qualifies as an OF going into 2017 drafts, he’s expected to spend most of his time at DH.
