A large crowd is expected for Friday's Yankees season opener against the Boston Red Sox, the first opening-day meeting of the rivals since 2005.
"It feels different already," the New York Yankees ace said Thursday."Walked in yesterday on an off day, everybody's in, no mask. breakfast spread's out, couches are back. Human beings are here."
"It feels like it's more back to normal," said Boston's Nathan Eovaldi, who joins Pedro Martinez ad Jon Lester as the only Red Sox pitchers to make three straight opening-day starts in the 21st century."We've had a few of our younger guys just asking questions about the media - like, 'The media's back in the clubhouse? Was it always like this?' And, it's like, yeah, this is the way it used to be.
Boston has a new second baseman in Trevor Story, signed as a free agent and shifted across the infield in a move that allows Bogaerts to remain at shortstop. Bogaerts is eligible for free agency after this season and said while Boston made an offer, talks for a long-term contract did not progress. "Two years ago I wasn't in the game for what I did, and I will never take this game for granted," he said.
