We’ve seen intrasquad games and exhibition games, but this week we will see regular season action at long last. The Yankees are scheduled to take on the defending World Series champions, the Washington Nationals, to open up the 2020 season. It’s real and it’s nearly here folks. Time to get excited.
We’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the state of the game, the negotiations to get here, and what the future of the team could look like going forward. Now, however, we’ve got live games and a standings race that will get competitive almost immediately to talk about.
