As if you needed a reminder, the 2019 Bronx Bombers have suffered a decade’s worth of injuries this month, and the resulting team bears little resemblance to the one that broke camp. No less than 13 players on their 25-man active roster played in the minor leagues last season — an almost certain recipe for disaster. Yet after winning seven of their last eight contests, this ragtag group of overachievers is now 13-10, good enough for second place in the AL East. Without superstars like Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez, and the list goes on, remaining competitive is an astonishing achievement.
Seriously, the Yankees should still be World Series favorites
