We have reached the All-Star break in our simulation of the 2020 season on MLB The Show, and the Yankees sit in second place in the American League East, 3.5 games behind the surging Red Sox. Just over two weeks prior, it was the Yanks in first by an almost identical margin. In fact, back in June, it was the Rays the Bombers were holding off in the East, not the Red Sox.
How did this happen?
If this were real life, oh boy would all of our social media pages be burning to the ground with demands to fire Aaron Boone or Brian Cashman or to trade literally anyone on the team.
