The Red Sox were considered the heavy favorites to win the AL East after adding Chris Sale, and the Baby Bombers were very much an unknown commodity, full of potential but facing several question marks. Still, Joe Girardi wasn't about to concede in late December, telling reporters at the 2016 Pinstripe Bowl: "I think we're going to be a club that is fighting for our division."As it turned out, Girardi was right.

With ​Starlin Castro being shipped to Miami and ​Chase Headley heading back to San Diego, speculation has been circulating whether or not the Yankees would promote their top prospect Gleyber Torres to fill in either roll.
