Lee: I think part of this would be dependent on exactly how the Yankees exit. Boone certainly needs to take some of the blame for how this team performed early, but he also deserves credit for helping turn things around.
Beyond Boone, I'm curious to see how the Yankees approach Gleyber Torres ' future, given his struggles this season -- especially with a marquee shortstop like Trevor Story available as a free agent. Schoenfield: Boone is in the final year of his contract and there has been little public discussion of an extension, so it does feel like the Yankees have to at least make the postseason for him to keep his job, especially in a season in which they were the AL favorites for the World Series -- where the Yankees haven't been since Boone might have to win the AL to be back in pinstripes in As for the offseason, we'll have to see how the new CBA plays out and how willing the Yankees will be to blow past the luxury tax if there is one after staying under it this year.
They need to become a little more athletic Gallo helps in that regard and a good two-way player like Story is a good fit, with his power, defense and baserunning. Aaron Hicks is still under contract, but a new center fielder might be in order as well. Skip to main content Skip to navigation.
Are the Yankees for real? What you should -- and shouldn't -- believe. New York Yankees. Atlanta Braves. Brewers hire two hitting coaches to assist offense. Milwaukee Brewers. Houston Astros. Hendriks, Hader named MLB's top relievers in ' Chicago White Sox.
Longtime Royals scout Art Stewart dies at Kansas City Royals. LHP Rodriguez stays with Yankees on 1-year deal. One could make an argument about the Los Angeles Lakers or the Boston Celtics but a quick answer to that is, the Yankees have not allowed any other team in Major league baseball to be in their league of winning world championships.
Lets discus; if the Mets are having a better year than the Yankees which is extremely rare the average obnoxious Yankee fan just says look at all of our championships. The Mets will always strive to be better than the Yankees but deep down they know that is impossible.
The Mets and every other sport organization out there need to strive to be better than the Yankees, even though they all know it is impossible. They are that super villain that makes the superhero look so much better. The Florida Marlins, one of the biggest underdogs in World Series History, had the whole nation rooting for them to beat the evil empire of the Yankees.
My visit to Spring Training in Tampa, Florida in mid-March suggests that additional young phenomenal players Miguel Andujar, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino and Gleyber Torres to name a few are on their way to take their place alongside those who came before them. Managers such as Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy in the early years — and Billy Martin, Casey Stengel and Joe Torre in the latter, were field generals that earned the same level of respect and admiration as the spectacular players they managed.
The Yankees unique and strong culture of excellence has persuaded numerous young people like me to be nothing less than outstanding in our own pursuits. For the most part, the Yanks have provided a clear, compelling and convincing picture of what it takes to be world-class for children growing up in the New York area and elsewhere. Witnessing the historical evolution of the club has demonstrated how hard work, commitment and trying to be the best can lead to success in life and make life very special.
Competing at the highest level and doing incredibly well is what makes Americans — and America — great. Teams like the Yankees that capture the imagination and hearts of young people today provide hope for the continued success of the nation despite the craziness in Washington, DC. Such sports franchises not only provide entertainment and enjoyment, but they also help shape the ideas, values, and aspirations of young people who might be frustrated and disillusioned with politics and government and what is going on in the country.
Teams like the Yanks, and competitive sports like baseball, are a central part of the fabric of American society and have cultures that reinforce the need to achieve excellence and eschew irrational policies and leaders, as well as the mediocrity and failure that follows. Many fervent New York Yankees fans tend to separate their focus on baseball from everything else going on in their lives. However, they should realize and appreciate how their baseball team imparts important values and goals worthy of adoption by fans, especially our youth.
