In Tuesday morning’s news post, I made a remark about how we always joke about the season being doomed early in the season. It’s a joke because there’s so much time left for baseball that individual results this early don’t generally mean much in the grand scheme of things. Yet, here we are, barely a week into the 2019 season and the Yankees may actually be teetering towards the edge of the cliff.
Since spring training, the team has dealt with injuries to a significant number of players that they were expecting to rely on consistently.
