It felt like just a few days ago, the Yankees were waking up to a sprawling baseball sunrise.
A team that wasn’t even supposed to make the playoffs was up 3-2 in the AL Championship Series, nine innings from the World Series, and the story of the season.

Now the Yankees are looking for a new bench boss. We know the person most qualified for the job was just shown the door.
