The Yankees won their first series of the year, Giancarlo Stanton hit a ball to Jupiter, Aaron Judge is still Aaron Judge, and the team looked good in our first real look at them. Not everyone involved is happy, however.
On Sunday afternoon, Isiah Kiner-Falefa started in center field to wrap up the opening series. His presence there isn’t a total shock, as it had been floated as a possibility and featured in some Grapefruit League exhibitions. But they opted for this alignment over an outfield configuration that featured Aaron Hicks in some way. He sat to start the first two games of the series as well, and in similar fashion to some Yankees before him, Hicks’ days in New York seem like they could be headed for an end.
