🔮 The collective bargaining agreement will expire in less than five weeks, the owners will lock out the players and the owners and union will dig in on each side of the salary cap issue.
🔮 And that is a public service with no idea when the next one might begin because of labor issues that will soon close down the sport for months (and months).
🔮 They hit, they fielded, they pitched, heck the best skill on the field might have been catcher William Contreras’ incomparable ability to successfully challenge pitches to reverse them into strikes.
🔮 They had two faux pas that if you closed your eyes you might insist Aaron Boone be fired by proxy.

🔮 Meanwhile, the Yankees were willing to accept Amed Rosario’s lesser glove at third in exchange for him hitting lefties well.
🔮 That makes me believe Hal will value continuity this particular offseason.
🔮 He should manage like his job is on the line, whether Hal Steinbrenner or Brian Cashman would actually push that lever or not if the Yankees lose yet another postseason series, in part because of the type of sloppiness that historically has reflected poorly on a manager.
