Part 11/13:
The Yankees’ current postseason drought is the longest since the franchise’s early years, stretching back decades. Since their first championship, it’s been a continuous cycle: promising regular seasons ending with postseason eliminations. The franchise’s illustrious history has been marred by these recurring disappointments, leading to increased pressure on management to overhaul their approach.
Some fans and analysts suggest that a total organizational reset is needed—full changes to roster philosophy, player development, and perhaps even leadership—if the Yankees want to return to championship contention. But skepticism remains; ownership and front office executives seem reluctant to abandon their core strategies, believing that talent alone should suffice.
