New York Yankees: Greg Bird still in competition for first base in 2019

Remember when Greg Bird was the next big thing in the Bronx? Now the New York Yankees first baseman seems to be a one-hit wonder…literally.

Tell me you don’t remember the home run against Andrew Miller in Game 3 of the 2017 ALDS. Trust me, you do.

After being banished to the bench after a pitiful 2018 season in favor of the hot-hitting Luke Voit, Bird is back in play for the Yankees, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Brian Cashman confirms Greg Bird will have to compete with Luke Voit for the Yankees 1st base job heading into 2019.
