Since the schedule makers have decided that the Phillies and Yankees will only play a two-game series beginning on Saturday, rather than doing a whole new preview for the Yankees, I’ve re-visited this piece from last summer when we weren’t entirely sure if baseball was ever going to be played.
Most of what I’ve written holds up because Derek Jeter will forever be overrated, and Yankees fans will forever be obnoxious braggards with no self-awareness and no sense of irony.
I will provide a few updates though:
- The Yankees won a Wild Card berth in 2020 and then lost in the ALDS for the fourth straight year.
