It's hard not to feel like the New York Yankees have a significant organizational issue on their hands these days. It's also hard not to agree with every inflammatory statement that confirms our current priors. The team is just that disappointing.
Every year, fans get excited for critiques from former players and low-hanging catnip about poor practices, but this year, that goes double. They have far more talent and depth than the 2020-2024 Yankees, but play far worse. They hand games away with errors, both physical and in judgment. Bullpen flubs have defined them. They lead MLB in FanGraphs WAR and have the worst record of any Yankees team with a run differential this strong.
