NEW YORK — Clint Frazier thought to the future and predicted: "It's going to be common for people to not like us."
Rather than bring veterans, the Yankees had Frazier and fellow Baby Bombers James Kaprielian, Gleyber Torres and Chance Adams respond to fans' question at a town hall meeting on Tuesday night along with infielder Starlin Castro and general manager Brian Cashman. They hope the rebuilding club transforms into a power resembling the teams that won four World Series titles from 1996-2000, one opposing fans will hate but respect.
"There's something to be said about this group, not only the ones that are here, but the ones that aren't here," Kaprielian told the crowd of several hundred at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square.
