Here we are, folks. One final week separates us from now and the end of the Yankees’ 2023 season, with a clear and decisive endpoint as opposed to the looming threat of it ending sometime in October.

And if Aaron Judge’s comments are any indication, he plans to be in the room where it happens this winter when the team retools for 2024.
The big questions, of course, revolve around what moves the team will make to improve the lineup and rotation.
