The Yankees of 2017 are going to be anything but boring. While some believe the Yankees are at least two years away from seriously competing for a World Series title, the current team has other goals. Moral victories. Young players developing. The nucleus of a winning club being put together as we watch it unfold.
The last time I remember the Yankees going through a similar transition was the early 1990s. Gene Michael, then general manager, made a series of moves that ended up as the basis of a dynasty. However, it didn’t happen overnight. In fact, some of the trades he made weren’t very popular at first.
