New York Yankees: First base battle in full swing at spring training

Two spring training games in and the New York Yankees have more questions than answers when it comes to who will own first base.

Last season, it seemed like Luke Voit was the shoe-in to man the coveted power position in the Bronx. But don’t count out Greg Bird, who has much to prove and is already starting to rake.

Bird saw action in Saturday’s contest again the Boston Red Sox, going 2-for-2 at the plate. With a single and a double on the afternoon, Bird showed he’s ready to start raking.

Of course, Bird is always pretty solid in spring training, especially since he smashed eight home runs in the league in 2017.
