Where can the Yankees improve the lineup?
NEW YORK -- A month has passed since the Yankees’ season ended with Trent Grisham swinging through a third strike in Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Rays, leaving their most dangerous available hitter on deck. Ben Rice was preparing for an at-bat that would never come.
“This has been twice now where the offense just hasn’t lived up to their end of the bargain and gotten the deal done,” Steinbrenner said, referring also to the Yankees’ 2025 playoff exit. “The offense was a big disappointment for me. It has to be better.”
