Forget Stanton and Judge; Gary Sanchez Will Be Yankees' Biggest Star in 2018
B51/Mark Brown/Getty ImagesAs we approach Opening Day, here's a question worth pondering: Who's the most exciting star on the New York Yankees?
It could be Aaron Judge, the incumbent American League Rookie of the Year. Judge hit an American League-leading 52 homers last season and was the Junior Circuit MVP runner-up.
It could be Giancarlo Stanton, the reigning National League MVP. The Yanks added him in a trade this winter after he swatted 59 home runs for the Miami Marlins.
Stanton and Judge will form a fence-clearing tandem in the Bronx that'll draw inevitable (if premature) comparisons to franchise legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Pop your popcorn.
