The Yankees have redemption on their minds in 2023.
That’s because despite 99 wins and winning the AL East last year, the Yankees sure didn’t look like it towards the end. Playing .500 ball in July and going 10-18 in August. Barely defeating the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS before being swept by the eventual champion Astros in the ALCS.
Injuries had a lot to do with the Yankees’ troubles, especially losing DJ LeMahieu to his nagging toe injury. The bullpen was tired and some just played poorly down the stretch.
All signs point to the Yankees running it back in 2023, and they’ll need all hands on deck.
