KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This might actually happen.
If no Yankees position player suffers an injury in Texas this week, baseball’s best squad would become the first team in major league history (confirmed via weeks of imaginary research) to actually face the conundrum of employing too many good players. That’s the conundrum we discuss about twice a week, industry-wide, that never actually comes to fruition because, well … someone always gets hurt.
And if it happens, then Tyler Austin will likely suffer the milestone of being the first player victimized by such a circumstance.
Consider Sunday, then, a burgeoning of the legend.
