NY Post | Joel Sherman: The 1998-2000 Yankees are special for many reasons, but one thing that stands out about them to this day is that they’re the last set of teams to defend a World Series title. That distinction was ensured for the 18th consecutive year when the Astros were eliminated in the ALCS, but at the cost of the team-that-shall-not-be-named advancing. The Yankees keep their historical advantage, but that doesn’t outweigh the Red Sox’ dominance over the last 15 or so years.
NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: It’s no secret that the Yankees are after pitching this offseason.
