The Yankees’ Opening Day roster became a lot clearer yesterday, as the team made it official that Randal Grichuk would be traveling to San Francisco and Oswaldo Cabrera will begin the year in the minor leagues.

It’s been far from a flashy spring with only minor competitions, but that was to be expected with how many returning starters they brought with them.
On the site we’ve got a chill Sunday lined up, with two Matt posts going back-to-back to start us off. The first entry wishes Rich Monteleone a happy birthday and remembers the early 90s reliever and his short but decent career in pinstripes, while the second looks at the Philadelphia Phillies ahead of their push for a third consecutive NL East title. Then, John stops by to deliver the latest social media spotlight featuring the end of the WBC.
