It will take quite a run for the Yankees to reach the postseason, but perhaps fittingly, the previous generation’s first rumble could inspire.
It is going to take a minor miracle for the Yankees to reach the playoffs this year. There is no getting around that fact.

As much as Gary Sanchez might individually will it, a postseason appearance just isn’t in the cards.
