Critics of the Pinstripes took to their social media pages to blast the MLB for allowing the Yankees to alter their lumber — with many claiming Rob Manfred and co. let it all slide ’cause NY is the league’s most popular team.
But when we sat down on Monday with Escarra — who was out at a Raising Cane’s in Times Square with his mom — he downplayed the matter, noting it’s all within league rules … while pointing out others across MLB also swung them throughout opening weekend.

By the way, if you’re unfamiliar with how Escarra made it to the Yankees this year — it’s a pretty incredible story. The rookie was a longtime minor leaguer who actually had to work as an Uber driver before Aaron Boone officially put him on the roster.
