Lindsey Adler, Yankees beat writer for The Athletic, joins the program to discuss what life is like on the beat right now, how she’s approaching writing during this delay, the anticipated state of the Yankees roster should baseball return later this summer, and what form she’d like the game to take when it does. Plus, Lindsey shares what it was like on the ground in the final days of Yankees spring training, and offers her advice for those who have taken up baking as a pandemic activity.

Lindsey participated in a NY beat writer forum and the question that intrigued me most was something to the effect of “What was the first lesson you learned as a beat writer?”. There seemed to be unanimous consent on the panel “The adage over report injuries, under report on relievers”. I’d never heard that.
