Yankees general manager Brian Cashman believes his team's 12-year World Series drought should have an asterisk. When asked about that championship drought, he rejected "the notion that the franchise is in the midst of an arid stretch".
While Cashman is free to reject reality (many Americans have chosen to do so in recent years), it doesn't change the facts: the MFY have not won (or even played in) a World Series since 2009. (That was so long ago, Daniel Bard would still pitch in four more seasons with the Red Sox.) Oh, just as a reminder, the Red Sox have won two titles since then and they personally ended the Yankees' 2018 and 2021 seasons.
