NEW YORK -- They're the New York Yankees. They're worth billions. They're built on a foundation of championships stretching back more than a century.
There is just no way they don’t go for it when another title is possible. This is the mandate any year, but it's even truer when they've only played in one playoff game in five seasons. So the Yankees had to acquire Sonny Gray.
The Yankees, under Hal Steinbrenner, are a scary organization for the rest of the baseball. Steinbrenner has handed the player personnel keys over to his GM, Brian Cashman, and the results have been franchise-changing.
