According to Bob Klapisch, the audit of the Yankees organization by an outside firm will begin as soon as the regular season ends. This comprehensive examination will reportedly include an objective evaluation of the successes and failures of the player development system. While there should be several departments who don’t withstand the scrutiny, those who operate in the minor leagues should be able to hold their heads high after a 2023 season that can only be viewed as an unqualified success.
Perhaps that is more of a subjective judgment of the farm system, and there are numerous ways to form an opinion about how it has fared, but the important markers of health, the progress of the player group, and the performance of top prospects should cast this season in a positive light.
