ESPN | David Schoenfield: The 2023 Yankees are as good as toast. Their playoff odds took another big hit as they got blown out by the Red Sox to open this weekend’s series, putting them further behind a team that is merely between them and a Wild Card spot, let alone the teams that are actually in control of their playoff destinies at the moment. Unlike the past few years there’s simply no surprise player emerging to deliver a massive performance in a needed role to save the team, and even if there was they’d need multiple of them considering how many positions have seen major declines.
