by Paul Semendinger February 21, 2021 *** This is my first guess at the Yankees’ 2021 Opening Day Roster. Better said, this is the roster I would go with if the decision were up to me, at least as things look as Spring Training begins. SP – Gerrit Cole SP – Corey Kluber SP – James Taillon SP – Jordan Montgomery SP – Deivi Garcia C – Kyle Higashioka C – Gary Sanchez 1B – Luke Voit 2B – D.J. LeMahieu SS – Gleyber Torres 3B – Gio Urshela LF – Clint Frazier CF – Aaron Hicks RF – Aaron Judge DH – Giancarlo Stanton RP – Aroldis Chapman RP – Zack Britton RP – Chad Green RP – Darren O’Day RP – Luis Cessa or Jonathan Loaisiga or Nick Nelson (undetermined right now) RP – UPDATE – Justin Wilson (Thanks Fuster!) (This was Nick Nelson) OF – Jay Bruce OF – Brett Gardner INF – Thairo Estrada INF – Tyler Wade UTL – Derek Dietrich
