Overview

  • Yankees players pitched management on Wednesday to wear the navy batting-practice jersey for select road games.
  • Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Boone voiced openness, saying the home pinstripes would not change.
  • Hal Steinbrenner holds the decision and is evaluating cost, how often the jersey would appear, and likely fan reaction, according to multiple reports.
  • Reporting conflicts on MLB clearance, with some outlets saying the navy top is already approved and others saying it is not, and The Athletic reported no move is imminent.
  • The navy tops are used in spring training and often sit in road lockers, yet the Yankees have never had a regular alternate and remain the only MLB team without one.
