Get ready for the Chicago White Sox hiring Alex Cora or AJ Hinch right before Yankees-ChiSox becomes a thing!
The White Sox seem like a fairly clear candidate to be the next up-and-coming franchise that the Yankees establish themselves as the second-best team in the AL next to, right?
Huge, young prospect pool. Big-time talent entering their prime like Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada. Veteran leadership like Jose Abreu.
Yup, exactly the kind of team that Yankees fans trick themselves into being a comparable ALCS opponent, before quickly flipping into excuse mode when New York falls in five games.
