New York Yankees’ Greg Bird itching to fight Luke Voit for 1B job

Forget Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight of the century will be in spring training between New York Yankees first basemen Greg Bird and Luke Voit.

Voit currently stands atop the depth chart at first base. He’s a formidable opponent known for one-armed bench-pressing and a torrid end of 2018.

However, Bird told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that he’s been training since January to take back his position:

“I am able to work, get the work in that I wanted to get in and work on things I wanted to work on so I can get back into a normal place.
