Tonight, the winner of the 2023 AL Cy Young Award is set to be announced, and it’ll be a chance for a new addition to the Yankees’ hardware case. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is one of the three finalists and is generally seen as the favorite going into tonight. If Cole is named the winner, he will become the sixth Yankee to ever earn a Cy Young, and the first since Roger Clemens back in 2001.
While that’s still more than some other teams, that does feel like quite a low number for as much success as the Yankees have had.
