The 2023 Yankees, in all likelihood, aren’t going anywhere. They just don’t look like a playoff-caliber team, and as it’s been speculated recently, perhaps it’s time to think about 2024, call up some of their prospects in the high minors, and get their feet wet.
The offense has been a problem all year. The Yankees lineup is old, unathletic, and injury-prone. Some of the contracts will be very difficult to move, but the organization needs to prioritize finding (or developing) young, athletic, and talented hitters with potential. It’s easier said than done, though.
Pitching doesn’t seem to be an organizational problem as much as the offense.
