It's Sunday once again, and you know what that means - it's time for our weekly social media roundup!The Yankees have been on the west coast this week, which may explain why most of this week's roundup is filled with prospects, guys on the IL, and former Yankees; even so, we got to see the Captain engage in some playful banter with a former division rival.

When you think of near no-hitters, the ones that come to mind are usually the ones broken up in the ninth inning.Think the Mike Mussina near-perfect game in Fenway Park in 2001.This particular outing from Domingo Germán was close to one, but not in that way.Other that a first-inning hit, Germán then mowed down the Guardians' lineup.

The Yankees ' playoff success against the Twins has become a bit of a meme at this point.Since losing Game 1 of the 2004 ALDS to Minnesota, the Yankees have since beaten them in 13-straight postseason games, a span that covers four different Division Series matchups and a Wild Card Game, all of which the Yankees have advanced from, across a span from 2004 to 2019.

Here is my contribution to the baseball discourse of the evening:

"lmao what even is the whole Carlos Correa situation" - END OF TRANSMISSION -

Today on the site, Gary will kick off a series of his own looking back at Yankees of yesteryear, starting with Ron Hassey.Later on, Andrés will make the case for why DJ LeMahieu should simply be the starter at third base over Josh Donaldson, and Sam will look back on when Masahiro Tanaka and Greg Bird combined to save the 2017 Yankees from a sweep against Cleveland (kicking off a huge ALDS comeback).

The offseason continues to churn out motion, but the Yankees have returned to being spectators over the past week or so.Of course they landed the biggest contract of the offseason and there are rumors that they're working hard under the surface to land more talent, but it feels like the clock is ticking to reel in any of the remaining big ticket names on the market.

It's been a busy, busy week in the baseball world.Another week of spring training has come and gone, bringing us ever so much closer to Opening Day.Meanwhile, the first World Baseball Classic in six years has finally kicked off, as pool play began earlier this week.Let's see what the Yankees have been up to on social media this week.
