It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! Qualifying offers have been extended, player and team options have been exercised, and free agency has, officially, begun. But even though the ballfields now sit quiet, the baseball world continues to remain active. What have the Yankees been up to this week? Let’s find out!
26.2 Miles
Last Sunday, the New York Marathon took place, as more than 60,000 runners decided to honor Pheidippides, the Athenian who ran
from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory over the Persians, by running that same distance — 26.2 miles — through the city of New York. While no active players ran, Aaron Judge’s wife and Ben Rice’s girlfriend did participate.
Platinum Belli
Yankee left fielder Cody Bellinger added some hardware to his trophy cabinet this week, winning both the Gold Glove for left field and the American League Platinum Glove this season.
Happy Birthday, Tanaka!
Last Sunday, former Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka turned 38 years old, and he celebrated with a cake! And if you want to get a sense as to how close Tanaka remains with his former Yankees teammates — Luis Severino was spotted among the likes, and Gerrit Cole’s wife Amy wished him happy birthday in the comments’ section.
