Yankees spring training rolls along, and today, we’ll get our first at look at what might be the team’s primary rival. The Blue Jays have had an interesting offseason, replacing Robbie Ray and Marcus Semien with Kevin Gausman and Matt Chapman, and profile as perhaps the favorites in the AL East. This matchup won’t count for much, but we’ll at least get a glimpse at the talent the Yankees will be dealing with all summer.
In fact, Toronto will run out a pretty representative lineup for this exhibition. Nearly every expected starter will trot out today for the Blue Jays, with Teoscar Hernández the only notable exception.
