He's back. But who's gone? After Andy Martino's Monday morning tidbit, Yankees fans knew they didn't have to wait any longer for Giancarlo Stanton's debut (even though it might've been nice to see him at Fenway Park over the weekend). It was real. He was returning Monday at home against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, after "Monday or Tuesday" had been floated over the weekend. Then came the hard part, though: Who to cut?

The Boston Red Sox didn't need to trade Rafael Devers at all. They could've settled on an honest middle ground regarding Devers' position following the addition of Alex Bregman.

The Boston Red Sox recently shuffled around their bullpen and added a key piece of Triple-A depth to their 40-man roster ... only for a different opportunity to come along when Twins reliever Jorge Alcala became available.

In my extremely biased viewpoint, the corniest thing an opposing fanbase can do is channel a gamma ray of hatred directly at the Yankees just for the sake of hating the Yankees. If a Yankees player has actively wronged you? Go for it. Fair's fair. Let him have it. If a Yankees player can't remember why you have beef, but you still remind him of it at every turn? Then you just might be from the midwest and in your mid-40s. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a lightning rod who speaks his mind.

Of all the poorly-aged articles I've put together this year, begging and pleading with the Yankees to find an alternative to Allan Winans midway through spring training might've been the biggest overreaction. Of course, without demoting Allan Winans, we never would've learned quite how ridiculous he could be, so really ... I was right? By accident? Through the weekend's action, it's actually impossible for Winans to be more dominant in the minors this year.
