After a three year playoff hiatus, the New York Yankees are in a great position heading into the postseason. With a record of 83-68, the 27-time World Series champions hold the top spot in the American League wild card race by four games. A team comprised of young stars and wily veterans, the Yankees have gelled together as one unit.
Despite the Toronto Blue Jays’ scorching hot summer, the Yankees still have a slim chance at winning the AL East, but even their manager isn’t hopeful of that.
“It is difficult,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, via ESPN.
