The New York Yankees have officially made their first round of cuts on Wednesday, slicing the roster down to 60 employees.
The long walk to the showers has arrived.
It’s one thing to see manager Aaron Boone hop out of the dugout only to take the ball. It’s a completely different story when Brian Cashman calls your name.
