NEW YORK -- It's been nearly 15 years since the New York Yankees won a World Series -- an eternity in the Bronx -- and the pressure to end the drought is mounting. That's what happens when you acquire Juan Soto the winter before a walk year and he spends the summer raising his price with another dazzling season.
Soto and Aaron Judge, who recently called Soto the best hitter he's ever seen, have become the franchise's best one-two punch since Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
And yet the Yankees are 10-21 since beginning the season 50-22.
