It didn’t take long for the Yankees hype train to reach full speed, but comparing this team to one of the greatest ever might be going too far. A hot start has people buzzing, but the question becomes how much of it is real and how much is classic early season overreaction.
Evan and Tiki debate whether it’s fair to even mention the 1998 Yankees this early, what signs actually matter through a handful of games, and how dominant pitching is fueling the excitement. They also push back on where the conversation should realistically be, focusing on what this team has proven so far versus what still needs to be seen before making historic comparisons.
