Yankees 2018 notes of notes: Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman

Quality: B +

As our columnist Steve Politi said, the Red Sox were just better than the Yankees. As head of the lineup, it's up to Cashman, who finished his twentieth season in the role – the longest running general manager of the game in a row. View Luke Voit, trader for J.A. Happ and Zach Britton and bet on Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar while some thought it was too early were points in favor of Cashman. The full shelf of Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn's mediocrity and Giancarlo Stanton's lower seat (compared to what he considered his standards) are points against.
