LAS VEGAS — With the return of Aaron Judge to anchor the major leagues’ most powerful offense, there is a new buzz about the Yankees. Good luck finding a weakness in a lineup filled with bombers. Top to bottom, there are only strengths.
For two months, while Judge and Giancarlo Stanton were sidelined and the team’s injury list drew a standing-room-only crowd, the Yankees impressed in a much different way by winning with a makeshift cast.
The Bronx “B” team did more than tread water until a few A-list celebrities — Judge, Stanton and Didi Gregorius — resurfaced at different times in June.
