Yankees first baseman Greg Bird could be demoted to Triple-A

Bird is the word! Or is it? As we all know, Greg Bird hasn’t been able to perform to his fullest potential because of one injury after the other. In 2018, he slashed .199/.286/.386 with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs for the Yankees.

Per Brendan Kuty of NJ.com, Brian Cashman recently told reporters at the General Managers meetings, that the organization could demote Bird back to Triple-A so that he can rediscover the tools that once made him a potential cornerstone of the organization.

Due to ankle surgery, Bird wasn’t able to play for two months — from the end of March 2018 through May.
