Yankees' Weathers Struggles in Spring Loss

0:00For the New York Mets, it's March Knife. Here's what's happening. Yankee's fans had a tough Sunday in spring training, as their team lost 10-4 against the Mets on March 8. The big story was starting pitcher Mackenzie Weathers, slotted forth in a rotation missing Garrett Cole and Carlos Rodon. He struggled badly against the depleted Mets lineup, raising questions about his role as a reliable innings eater. Earlier this week, Weathers looked sharp in his debut, with a 98.5 mile per hour fastball and a high whiff rate. That strong showing had everyone hopeful, but this outing exposed some issues. It might have been tweaks to his pitches or mechanics, which is common in spring, yet it was far from encouraging. Meanwhile, Alfield prospects Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones kept making their cases. Dominguez drove in two runs with a key single in the fourth, while Jones added a run and an RBI early on. Both have been consistent this spring, with Jones even hitting three home runs, but only

Running ahead, Weathers gets at least one more star before the roster sets, and it could shift the conversation. The Yankees sit at ten wins and five losses, but the rotation health and these tough prospect choices are what really matter right now.
