The Yankees freely admit that they have no timetable as to when Greg Bird will return to the regular lineup. And they also have to be a little gun-shy as to what they can expect from him when he does return, given the contrast between his light ’em up Spring Training that was followed by an anemic (to be kind) start to the 2017 season.
Clearly, Brian Cashman has the same questions about Bird when he asked Hal Steinbrenner to write a check for three million dollars for the privilege of having Carter as an insurance policy against Bird.
