The Yankees May Have Found Their First Baseman
After Anthony Rizzo went to the IL on June 16, first base looked even more bleak for the Yankees. Enter catcher-turned-first baseman Ben Rice.

It appears Captain Jacob Trouba is sticking around with the New York Rangers for now, despite some earlier trade rumors and his wife is to blame for it.
