After a well-earned day off, the Yankees have their final series of May in front of them with a trip to Sacramento to visit the Athletics. The not-yet-Vegas A’s were the first team to take a series against New York way back in the first week of April, as they took two of three in the Bronx, but now they’ll get a chance to return the favor and kick the A’s while they’re down — after leading the AL West for a good amount of time, Seattle just leapfrogged them with a sweep.
To start us off today, Matt will give us the series preview of the pitching matchups we’ll see against the A’s. Sam has the Rivalry Roundup on a pretty quiet day across the American League, Jeff gives some love to a Yankee that only put on the pinstripes late in his career but was around the organization for a long time in George McQuinn, and Andrés looks into what’s going wrong with Austin Wells this year. Michael ponders who could be the next big Yankees prospects to break out, and finally I’ll be back to answer your latest mailbag questions.
