Decisions, Decisions for the Yankees
This season’s Yankees Opening Day roster consisted of twenty one returning players, and the lone noticeable loss was of stalwart Jorge Posada, who retired in January after seventeen seasons in pinstripes.
However there is no guarantee the roster remains near intact once again as this year’s Yankee group was the oldest in the league, and numerous players are upcoming free agents. Other than the monstrous contracts of C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, almost everybody else is on the mend this off-season or next, with some due significant raises.
Swept Away
For the fourth straight ALCS playoff game, the New York Yankees’ bats fell dormant, falling to Detroit 8-1. For the second time in six years, the Tigers are going to World Series.
In fact, the last time the Tigers made it there, they knocked off both the Yankees and the Oakland Athletics. They just might face the St. Louis Cardinals again too. For the Yankees, the game was a fitting end to their offensive nightmare of a postseason, and now an unpredictable offseason looms.
