Craig Breslow loves his manager

In his eyes, Alex Cora is part of the cream of his profession.

Anthony Volpe with Baker Mayfield

They attended a Lightning game together.

He is in Tampa, just like several of his teammates, to see what the young people at the Yankees complex have in store.

Yankees who are working out at the team's minor league training and scouting complex in Tampa this week: Judge, Torres, Volpe, LeMahieu, Wells, Rodon, Cortes, Loaisiga, Cabrera, Dominguez.

It won't be easy for Mile Trout.
