Yankees Are Already Anointing George Lombard Jr.
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Mon Aug 24 2026
Description: George Lombard Jr.’s rough defensive weekend raises the first real questions about the Yankees’ prized young shortstop. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash debate whether the miscues are anything to worry about, why his elite range still jumps off the screen, and whether Yankee fans are rushing to crown Lombard after being burned by Anthony Volpe. The conversation escalates when Shaun projects Lombard as one of baseball’s future elite shortstops, while Evan pushes back on putting enormous expectations on a player this early. Plus, the Yankees’ pitching injuries strengthen Evan’s argument that a contender can never have enough starting pitching, and Giancarlo Stanton’s remarkable postseason availability becomes part of the discussion surrounding his uncertain future.
