The outcome of the New York Yankees’ season took many by surprise. Despite facing early struggles, the team was able to regain their position. But they have again sunk with Aaron Judge missing time over the last few weeks. Most recently, fans expressed sarcastic replies as the Yankees matched a record of over 30 years ago.
The team’s batting has particularly struggled, with Judge out of the picture recently. In recent news, there were reports of the Yankees signing Shohei Ohtani. It will be interesting to see how the Bronx Bombers move forward as their situation worsens.

All-Star weekend is over, and teams have returned to the regular season schedule. The Yankees recently played their first game after the break. But unfortunately, the result did not go their way.
They lost 7-2 to the Colorado Rockies, finding themselves tied for last place in the AL East. This loss led Yankees to matching an unwanted feat from 1992. The news was reported by Talkin’ Yanks on Twitter.
In a Tweet, they said, “This is the first time since August 23, 1992, that the Yankees have been tied for last place this late in a season. They have not been in sole possession of last place this late in a season since 1990 when they finished in last (via @ktsharp)”. This is a massive record that the team is now matching, and not in a good way.

And Hal does. not. care. at. all. Why? Because when the NYY come home to face the Royals on 7/21, there will be 40,000+ butts in the seats every single game. Then the Mets come to town & he’ll love the two sellouts!

There were even some fans that pointed out some of the team’s bad moves.
Donaldson is batting below .150 and he is playing every day and sometimes DHing, IKF is a gold glove 3B and he is misplaying balls in the OF – make it make sense!
