TAMPA — If Aaron Boone drops Aaron Judge into the leadoff spot against certain lefties and the move helps the Yankees win games, a brainstorming session on a bus ride moving north Thursday will be noted.
After saying earlier Thursday, “I have no plans of leading him off,” Boone took a look at it on the bus ride home and the manager delved into the idea.
“About halfway between Fort Myers and here, actually, and looking at the first series, I have been poring over the lineups a little bit for that first series in Toronto and knowing their rotation, combination-wise, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Boone said.
