INDIANAPOLIS — Hank Steinbrenner is bullish about the Yankees’ future.
The team’s co-chairman thinks young players who came up late this season such as Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin and others still developing in the farm system can soon become the face of the Yankees’ next dynasty. He hopes for a group much like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, who formed a core in the 1990s that won five titles.
When the new group starts winning consistently, Steinbrenner says the Yankees will make the kind of long-term investment that would make his late father proud
“Once we get it there, we’ll keep it there and we will spend to do so,” Steinbrenner told The Associated Press on Thursday.
