Around the Empire: Yankees news - 1/29/23

New York Post | Joel Sherman: The Yankees’ decision to roll with Aaron Hicks and Josh Donaldson as likely starters has understandably caused some consternation within the fan base. Sherman argues, however, that it’s pitching depth, not Hicks or JD, that should have fans truly worried. With Jordan Montgomery, and upper-minors arms Ken Waldichuk, Luis Medina, J.P. Sears, and Hayden Wesneski all shipped out last year, the Yankees don’t have much pitching depth in Triple-A. I’d counter that a lack of strong seventh and eighth starting pitchers is less of a concern than the prospect of the actual top left fielder being bad, but I digress.
