After a weekend on the road, the Yankees will play their first home game of the Grapefruit League season this afternoon. The Yankees are at George M. Steinbrenner Field today and that means we’ll see Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for the first time this spring. I wouldn’t call Judge a veteran yet, but he’s definitely earned “you don’t have to go on road trips in February” status.
Today’s main event: James Paxton. He is making his spring debut — he’ll also be the first member of the projected Opening Day pitching staff to appear in a Grapefruit League game — after being the team’s prized offseason addition.
