The Yankees' Aaron Judge has already conquered The City. Now, Stanton comes. He, too, will conquer, but more like Gilgamesh once did, in his eponymous Epic.
MORE BY CORY CLAUS
So, just because the Yankees plan to get a great player at exactly the right position of need for them, doesn’t mean it’s going to work out that way.
The Yankees want a starter, the Red Sox need a bat, and the Orioles have to stop pretending they might not trade Manny Machado. And everyone wants pitching.
The Yankees are in trouble. And it will inevitably lead them to a financial hell, forever dragging bloated contracts through a bleak baseball future.
the Yankees have a better chance of fielding a championship club if their five-six-seven is Corbin-Montgomery-Sheffield than Montgomery-Sheffield-German.
Yankees Stadium: Here’s hoping you survive a season of being assaulted with baseballs by the biggest kids in the sport, Judge and Stanton.
The Yankees, meanwhile, will enter the season as one of the favorites to win the World Series for the first time in years.
And it’s all happening soon, before Christmas. If the Yankees get everything they wish for, it might mean Greinke and Cole arrive, while Ellsbury leaves.
The Yankees would end up with two proven starting pitchers and a veteran back-up infielder, leaving the D'Backs free to canoodle with JD Martinez.
The final truth most teams are awakening to is that the 2018 season is likely to be one long, slow, painful beat down by the Yankees.
Jeets has committed almost as many errors as he did for the Yankees in ’92. And that is just with how he handled trading Giancarlo Stanton.
