We used to run a feature called "The Saturday Links" where we linked stories about the Yankees found across the Internet. We stopped that years ago because too many sites went behind paywalls.
Today we bring that feature back, in part, to link to this story, from The Players' Tribune.
One quote from the article,
"I don’t want to be the future, or the past. I want to be the right now."
I LOVE IT!
Enjoy!

Will Verdugo soon be rubbing dirt on his uniform after the games to make it look like he played?
Cabby (Oswaldo Cabrera) became a better hitter this year simply by observing Juan Soto, and what Soto does during each at-bat, and his observations of Soto has made him a better hitter, with the very limited hitting skills that Cabby has. Juan Soto has taken his fellow Dominican, Jasson Dominguez, under his wing, and the Martian is observing and learning from Soto the same way that Cabby has been doing. Only the Martian has a far better skill set when it comes to hitting than Cabby has. People have already noticed an amazing similarity in Dominguez's swing and stance to Soto's. By observing Soto, picking Soto's brain, and heeding Soto's sage advice, Dominguez is really going to reach his …
Dominguez's ghostwriter is excellent (but I have no doubt all the emotions expressed are legitimately Dominguez's).

Excellent writing by Jasson Dominguez. We should see if we can get him to become a regular writer for "Start Spreading The News".
