Stop me if you’ve read this one already: The position has been filled.
That is the sign that should be posted outside the Yankees' spring training complex when position players arrive on Feb. 24. It is the same sign that should have been posted last spring. (It is not, thankfully, the sign that will be posted next year, when the contracts of Mark Teixeiraand Carlos Beltran finally run their course.)
But as has been the case the past couple of springs, every last job on the field for the 2016 Yankees is spoken for, barring injury.
Teixeira will play first, and Beltran, with occasional relief from newcomer Aaron Hicks, will play right. Chase Headley, signed for three more years, will be at third, and Didi Gregorius will be at short. New acquisition Starlin Castro is the second baseman, Brian McCann, signed through 2018 with a team option, will be behind the plate, and Brett Gardner (left) and Jacoby Ellsbury (center) will complete the outfield.Alex Rodriguez will be the DH. No one else need apply.
