The $320 million Yankees are an October failure once again. No other way to look at it today.
They provided a couple of late thrills, but let’s face it, they finished two playoff rounds short of last year’s team, which got to the World Series but also failed to accomplish the long-standing Yankees goal of winning the World Series.
We’ve softened our standard somewhat since George Steinbrenner passed, and the 2024 Yankees are generally considered a mild success as the only Yankees team since 2009 to make it to the Fall Classic — never mind that their performance was far less than classical once they got there.
But this year is not the same. This year they couldn’t even survive a junior circuit without a juggernaut.
