The Yankees are the richest team in baseball, and after another early playoff exit, it’s time for them to fully embrace their biggest advantage. joedelessio writes
Sad Gleyber Torres. Photo: Winslow Townson/Getty Images With the Yankees’ 6-2 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday night in the American League Wild Card game, another letdown of a season is in the books. It’s now been 12 years and counting since the Yankees have won the World Series; the team recently completed their first decade without a Fall Classic appearance in a century, and though they’ve made the playoffs six times since 2015, they’ve won their division just once in nine seasons.
And so as an off-season of changes begins, this is as good a place as any to start: It’s time for the Yankees to start acting like the richest team in the history of the sport and stop caring, even a little bit, about the luxury tax. In an era of statistical savvy, it’s harder than ever to capitalize on the types of market inefficiencies laid out almost 20 years ago in Moneyball. But the Yankees still have one massive advantage over everyone else: They are the Yankees.
