The Red Sox are going to play in the World Series, having handily defeated the reigning champs, the Houston Astros, in five games in the ALCS. Meanwhile, the Yankees are at home, having been eliminated from the playoffs at the hands of those same Red Sox.

If Boston is adhering to some sort of organizational philosophy which is conducive to better performance, then surely the Yankees should take note.
