The team won the AL East by seven games last year. This season a series of injuries and a lack of depth have hit them hard
An unsuccessful season for the New York Yankees typically means one where they don’t reach the World Series. No MLB team holds itself to higher standards, so it’s little wonder there’s a sense of despair in the Bronx as it becomes clear that the 2023 squad will miss out on the playoffs altogether. In fact, the Yankees are in danger of putting together their worst season in 30 years.
The Boston Red Sox came to Yankee Stadium last weekend with an opportunity to effectively end the postseason hopes of their archrivals. Time may be running out for the mediocre Red Sox to leapfrog the teams ahead of them in the Wild Card race, but they came alive when given the chance to avenge the “Boston Massacre” of 1978 (or perhaps its 2006 reboot).
