If there are any signs of life in the Yankees clubhouse, Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers saw two of the team’s oldest players picking up the slack. CC Sabathia’s strong performance and a home run from Alex Rodriguez weren’t enough to give the Yankees a much-needed victory, however, and the Bombers continued their downward spiral in the cellar of the AL East.
While it is unfamiliar territory for the Yankees, who took their 2015 season into the Wild Card Game against the Houston Astros, there is hope that the aging group will return to playoff form sooner rather than later.
