We have witnessed dramatic changes to the New York Yankees roster over the last several years.
Jorge Posada became the first member of the Core Four to hang up his spikes when he retired following the 2011 season. Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte said farewell in 2013. Derek Jeter's retirement in 2014 saw the departure of the last link to the dynasty teams of the 1990's and early 2000's. Four Yankee legends who had come up through the organization, winning five World Series Championships and giving fans endless thrills along the way, were gone.
