New York Yankees Headlines

Max Fried has officially been named the Yankees' Opening Day starter, and if his performance against the Pirates in spring training is any indication, he’s ready to embrace the pressure unlike anyone else on this roster. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge is proving he’s a clutch performer on the international stage, delivering a home run and a cannon of an assist in Team USA’s clash with Mexico. However, not every experiment is going as smoothly, Ryan McMahon's trial as a backup shortstop should be shelved immediately, while Ryan Weathers continues to show he has a long way to go before solidifying his spot in the rotation. With just weeks until the season opener, the Yankees must figure out their lineup and roles, but today’s highlights are a reminder of the potential star power this team wields.
