Are the Yankees built to return to the World Series? Derek Jeter doesn't think so unless they tone down on the errors and mistakes.
Are the New York Yankees built to return to the World Series? The Captain doesn't think so unless they fix those errors and mistakes. 'They make way too many mistakes. You can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams,' Yankees legend and FOX Sports analyst Derek Jeter said during Saturday's rain delay at the MLB Speedway Classic.
Are the New York Yankees built to return to the World Series? The Captain doesn't think so unless they fix those errors and mistakes. 'They make way too many mistakes... You can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams,' Yankees legend and FOX Sports analyst Derek Jeter said during Saturday's rain delay at the MLB Speedway Classic. It was a sentiment shared by fellow Yankees great and FOX Sports analyst Alex Rodriguez. 'If any one of us made a mistake, we would be sitting our butt right on the bench,' Rodriguez said. The Yankees made a flurry of trade deadline deals to improve their bullpen, bringing in relievers David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies and Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants. But all three struggled in Friday's brutal 13-12 loss to the Miami Marlins, which included several blown leads. The Yankees had won 79 straight games when scoring 10-plus runs, which was the longest streak in MLB since 2019.'New team, new surroundings, it takes awhile to adjust,' Jeter said about the new relievers. But the Yankees lost again on Saturday to the Marlins in a 2-0 shutout that included a basrunning mistake by Jazz Chisholm Jr when he was caught not paying attention that forced a double play. 'I see mistake after mistake, and there’s no consequences,' Rodriguez added. Jeter concluded: 'You can't continue to do it. You have to clean it up. I mean, it's that simple, there's no excuses … You have to play better. If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far.' Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
