Yankees Could Still Steal the AL East

The Yankees’ biggest problem may soon be figuring out who actually plays. Shaun Morash explains why the returns of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger could create a brutal lineup crunch, especially with Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. forcing their way into the conversation. Shaun believes Jones has shown enough to deserve a major role and argues the Yankees may even need to consider unconventional October lineups to keep their best bats on the field. Shaun also refuses to give up on the AL East despite Tampa Bay’s surge, pointing to the Yankees’ remaining head-to-head opportunities. With the Bronx energized by its young players and the pitching staff built for a short series, he sees a legitimate path to a deep postseason run.
