Yankees Prospect Buzz Grows as George Lombard Jr. Nears Call Up  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Wed Apr 29 2026
Description: Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber spend the final stretch of the show breaking down the Yankees’ infield future and the rapid rise of George Lombard Jr. after his promotion to Triple A. The discussion centers on what the Yankees’ left side of the infield could realistically look like by October, whether Lombard is forcing his way into the organization’s long term plans, and how aggressive Brian Cashman may be at the trade deadline. The conversation also covers bullpen concerns, potential trade targets, and why the Yankees may still need another late inning arm despite their strong start. Plus, the guys react to strong opinions from callers about quarterback prospects, debate the risks teams take on developmental quarterbacks, and continue the ongoing Jets quarterback conversation with plenty of classic Evan and Tiki back and forth along the way.
