September is finally here, and for Yankees fans, that can only mean one thing…
The Montero Era is about to begin.
Rosters expand today, and as expected, the Yankees will finally call upon their top prospect, catcher Jesus Montero.
His debut should be either tonight against the Red Sox at Fenway Park or tomorrow against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. Regardless, Montero will finally don the pinstripes within the next day or two, and once he does, you can bet he’ll never take them off.
