TAMPA, Fla. -- Aaron Boone says his New York Yankees are "hell bent on being a champion" after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
New York started spring training Wednesday still in search of its first title since 2009. The Yankees went 82-80 last year, nearly finishing with a losing record for the first time 1992.
"Last year was not anything anyone in this organization wants or demands or expect," the manager said Wednesday. "I would say we have poured into that. From ownership, to the front office, to the coaches and staff all the way to the players that I do feel like we have prepared properly.
