We’ve arrived at the final weekend of spring training, and we can now count the number of exhibition games the Yankees have left on one hand. New York has four spring training dates left on the schedule, and by Wednesday next week, they’ll be in San Francisco to begin the season with a special Opening Night matchup with the Giants. We already have probable starters for that game, with Max Fried and Logan Webb scheduled to face off at 8 pm EST. It’s close enough that we can taste it, but for now, we’ll work through the last games on the exhibition slate as the Yankees and rest of baseball make their final tuneups.
It’ll be a relatively quiet day on the site today. In the morning, Kento will argue that the Dodgers aren’t exactly ruining baseball, and Sam will reflect on Frankie Montas’ career on the occasion of the right-hander’s birthday, while Matt gives us the results from this week’s SB Nation polls. In the afternoon, Cam Schlittler gets the ball, making his last spring start against the Tigers.
