MLB | Bryan Hoch<\/a>: He\u2019s not just the Captain of the most storied franchise in the history of Major League Baseball. He\u2019s also the Captain of Team USA as the red, white, and blue get ready for the World Baseball Classic. And though that will require Aaron Judge\u2019s absence from the Yankees in March, skipper Aaron Boone is on board. \u201cI think the fact that Aaron Judge is captaining the U.S. team, I think it\u2019s the right thing,\u201d Boone opined on Monday. \u201cI\u2019m excited for him to play in this kind of environment. Hopefully it\u2019s a few weeks [where Judge is] away, and then we get him back.\u201d<\/p>\n

MLB | Bryan Hoch<\/a>: What are the five greatest seasons in the long history of the New York Yankees? It doesn\u2019t matter what you answered. You\u2019re wrong. In an attempt to quantify it, Hoch looks at the five winningest iterations of the Yanks, headlined by one of the greatest teams in recent history. The \u201898 Yankees. I won\u2019t give away the rest of the list, but the 1927 \u201cMurderer\u2019s Row\u201d Yankees also make the list. Read and find out for the other three.<\/p>\n

ESPN | Buster Olney and Jesse Rogers<\/a>: Are you bored near to death by the Yankees\u2019 off-season? You\u2019re not the only one. Blessedly, Tuesday at least provided some crumbs. Buster Olney reports that the Yankees and Cody Bellinger, while they\u2019re still negotiating, have considerable daylight between the two sides. Olney speculates that any Belli deal will need to meet the AAV that the versatile slugger earned last season while playing in the Bronx. Rogers, meanwhile, expects a \u201cfull court press\u201d from the Yanks to keep Bellinger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB | Bryan Hoch: He\u2019s not just the Captain of the most storied franchise in the history of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99,163244],"class_list":{"0":"post-392788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-mlb","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-yankees-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
