Upon beating the Red Sox 8-5 on Saturday afternoon, the Yankees have achieved 100 wins — something they haven’t been able to do this since 2009 when they had 103 wins. With a full youth movement underway, reaching the century mark in wins is a testament to the entire organization.
It’s great seeing the Yanks reach 100 wins in a season after a nine-year hiatus. All those years of general manager Brian Cashman trying to convince Hal Steinbrenner and company to go primarily young has finally paid off.
Looking back, I’m glad that the Yankees were 44-44 during the first half of the 2016 season.
