TAMPA, Fla. -- Soon, Tyler Wade will become one of the New York Yankees' two starting second basemen.
Yes, two.
According to manager Aaron Boone, the 23-year-old -- who flew under the radar as a rookie last season -- will be sharing duties at the position with recently signed veteran Neil Walker.
“I’m excited. It’s a dream come true for me,” said Wade, who grew up emulating Derek Jeter. “But now the work just starts.”
Some reading this might be happy for Wade, but it's likely they're also pondering one key question: Who the heck is he?
