Do the Yankees have an 'easy' path to the World Series? FOX Sports MLB analysts Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez discuss why and why not.
The last time the New York Yankees were in the World Series, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were manning the left side of the infield for the 2009 superteam that won the franchise's record 27th title. Now, both former teammates — reunited as MLB analysts at FOX Sports — are bullish on New York's chances of making it back to the Fall Classic for the first time in 15 years, as the Yankees begin the 2024 ALCS against Cleveland on Monday.
They went 5-2 against their division series opponents, the Kansas City Royals, in the regular season, then dispatched K.C. in four games in the ALDS. The Yankees have made four ALCS trips since they last won it all in 2009, but they've lost each time — once to the Detroit Tigers and three times to the Houston Astros. Despite that, Rodriguez is optimistic about the team's chances this year.
