What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time the Yankees were talking about a transition year and dealing with growing pains as they incorporated several young players into the everyday lineup. Now the Yankees are a World Series contender. Those young players thrived last season and helped the Yankees get to Game Seven of the ALCS. Being the underdog was fun. Time for the Yankees to get back to dominating the sport.
The goal this offseason and every offseason is to improve the organization, both short and long-term. Rebuilding teams focus more on the long-term.
