One beautiful thing about an abbreviated spring training is that the regular season arrives so quickly. And here we are: One final exhibition game for the Yankees before they pack up, head north, and open the 2022 campaign versus the Red Sox starting on Thursday. No drama please. Just a quick, quiet game and then let’s get to the regular season.
On the hill today for the Yankees is former wunderkind Manny Bañuelos. The 31-year-old southpaw has pitched very well throughout the spring. So well, in fact, that there was speculation right up until yesterday that he might make the big club to start the season.
