Last summer, I wrote a piece titled “The sky isn’t actually falling for the Yankees”. I was compelled to because, well, it felt like the sky was falling. The team suffered a few key injuries, dropped winnable games to bad teams, and some fans were up in arms regarding apparent refusal to take on money to improve the roster.
Does this sound familiar? An absolute avalanche of injuries has struck the Yankees to begin 2019, the team has bungled away a number of games to teams they have to beat, and ownership’s relative frugality last winter looks more aggravating by the day.
