It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep saying “it’s early” about the Yankees’ lineup because 2022 thus far only seems like an unpleasant extension of last season.

The end was mired in controversy around manager Aaron Boone’s decision to intentionally walk Miguel Cabrera in his last at-bat despite the future Hall of Famer sitting a hit away from 3,000, but for Yankees fans’ focus, the story should remain the sorry excuse for an offense.
