On a rainy day in Tampa, Jon Schwartz and Al Santasiere chat with Yankees.com beat writer Bryan Hoch (@bryanhoch) about his assessments of the team’s offseason, the start to spring training, the new guys around the clubhouse and the ways that beat writing has changed in his decade-plus on the job. Bryan is the author of the book BABY BOMBERS, which will be updated in paperback this coming August, and is a co-author of the upcoming MISSION 27, a look back at the 2009 World Series champs. Both can be preordered anywhere you go to buy books.
