Did the Yankees make a mistake?
Former New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman did not disappoint in his San Francisco Giants debut on Wednesday night.
The
Yankees dealt Tauchman to the Giantson Tuesday in exchange for left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta and a player to be named later.
Tauchman showed promise in a Yankee uniform, batting .266 with 13 home runs and 61 RBIs over 141 games. He never fully got a chance to play regularly, though. So despite his potential, with no minor-league options remaining on his contract, the Yankees traded the 30-year-old to the Giants.
The Giants have lacked stability in center field this season. They immediately plugged Tauchman in out there in his debut last night.
