For the New York Yankees, they are licking their wounds while watching the Tampa Bay Rays play in the 2020 World Series. The Rays beat the Yankees in the division and then beat them in the ALCS. The Yankees come away from the season as a failure. There are probably twenty or so teams in the MLB that would consider their season a moderate success. But not the New York Yankees. If the Yankees don’t advance to the World Series and win it, they consider the season a failure.
After the World Series, the Yankees will find themselves with only two pitchers in their rotation; the 2019 postseason acquired pitching ace Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery.
