The New York Yankees are a really good baseball team. Entering play on Wednesday, they had a 98.3-percent chance of making the playoffs. They sport as dominant a starting rotation as I’ve ever seen on a Yankee team. Oh, and they have a 5.5-game lead in the AL East at the time I’m writing this.
That’s not to mean there aren’t holes in this roster — the massive steps back taken by Aaron Hicks and Joey Gallo have highlighted a possible need for outfield assistance, and injuries to the bullpen have left it a little thin.
