Barring a trade, perhaps the most interesting playing time battle shaping up in New York is at third base.

Manager Aaron Boone has indicated that Gio Urshela (3B, NYY) will enter the preseason with a “leg up” at the position, after Urshela stunningly busted out to the tune of a .314 BA and 21 HR in 442 AB.
