On Monday, the New York Yankees will meet their new prime target – Yoshinobu Yamamoto. So if things go according to plan, we might see Yamamoto and Soto wear pinstripes in the same season. Could this be the start of something great for the Yankees?

But even after that, they’ll have to figure out a way to accommodate right fielders Soto and Judge in their outfield. With Judge being the most likely to move to the center, how will the Bronx minimize his risk of injuries?

The Yankees staff sure has a lot to work on.
