These Yankees seem to be at an inflection point — similar to what occurred beginning in 1965.
There have been previous years when I thought you would show up. I am still not sure how the 2013 and 2014 version remained in playoff competition deep into September. It was as if the organization was addicted to winning, as if that was part of its DNA, even if Jayson Nix or the ghost of Derek Jeter were getting lots of at-bats.Let me backtrack.
The 2023 Yankees began September 65-69. So perhaps they could close 16-12 or better to finish at .500 or better. But what seems assured is that for the first time since 1992, they will not even meet the Fred Wilpon low bar of meaningful September games — their white flag waved already in summoning their position prospects who are close to being MLB-ready.So these Yankees seem to be at an inflection point — similar to what occurred beginning in 1965.
That 1965 season also was the first year of the draft. For the previous decades, the Yankees had the advantage of being able to sign up the amateur players they desired. Suddenly, their pipeline became worse. Really good players such as White and Bobby Murcer came up in September 1965, not dissimilar to these Yankees summoning Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells.
