The winds of change are blowing through the Bronx this off-season, with the New York Yankees undergoing a transformation. Many think the biggest change is Aaron Judge being named team captain. But the real change is happening with team Manager Aaron Boone. During Spring Training he experimented with his lineup and played some of his stars at new positions. 

Furthermore, it looks like he is making several changes to the starting lineup, motivated by bad form and injuries. He also seems to have changed his views on media as he ditched his yearly radio deal for something different.
