NEW YORK - New York Mets superstar outfielder Juan Soto is realizing just how different life is without Aaron Judge looming in the on-deck circle. "I had the best hitter in baseball batting behind me," Soto told the New York Post. "I was getting attacked and more pitches in the strike zone, less intentional walks and things like that. I was pitched differently last year."Soto is still seeing success with the Mets, having posted a 138 wRC+ heading into Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

NEW YORK - In his first news conference of the year, Marcus Stroman repeated 11 times in 10 minutes that he viewed himself as a major-league starting pitcher. Technically, Stroman was right. He has pitched in 264 games across his 11 seasons in the big leagues, and only 10 of his outings have come out of the bullpen.

The New York Yankees begin a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night in the Bronx. The Giants have started the season as one of MLB's best teams with a record of 9-3, and their success has mostly been through an ERA of 2.78. San Francisco's offense has graded out below average, but the Giants get the benefit of going up against Marcus Stroman, Will Warren and Carlos Rodón, who've all looked shaky at best to begin the year.

Going into spring training, Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone had what could be considered a good problem. Given the depth of the Yankees' rotation, the challenge of veteran Marcus Stroman entering camp as the club's No. 6 starter was something the GM and manager would have to figure out at a later date. Two weeks into the regular season, it's clear that the Yankees' starting pitching depth is now just a problem. The Yankees lost their ace, Gerrit Cole, for the season after Tommy John surgery.
