The New York Yankees closed the book on the Grapefruit League following Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. However, the Yankees had one more thing to do before heading to Atlanta.
All Spring we’ve watched multiple competitions come into fruition, and for the most part, the Yankees ended the mystery behind who would end up on the Opening Day roster.
After the Yankees organization trolled their fans by hinting Aaron Hicks would be the starting right fielder, they officially announced Aaron Judge won the right field competition. Honestly, Judge in right field was a no-brainer, especially since there was an 80 point difference between Judge and Hicks’ batting average entering play on Thursday.
