Billy Butler will be the most recent Yankee on this list and may make many Yankee fans ask themselves how long ago was he on the team.

The Yankees picked up Butler in 2016 after he was released from the A’s two years into a three-year contract. Aaron Judge went down with an injury, and the Yankees were looking to find a bat that could attempt to resemble Judge’s.

His two-week presence was felt, as he hit .345 over that span, collecting 10 hits in 29 at-bats. He mostly saw time as the DH, although he did play a few games at first base.

This quick stint with the Yankees was his last in the Major Leagues. Although Butler played for nearly 10 years at the Major League level, he was only 30 years old.

He finished his career with a .290 average and 147 home runs in 1414 games.
