Do not expect any imminent firings despite the team\u2019s disappointing 31-29 record and fourth-place standing.<\/p>\n<p>Flash back to 2016. The Yankees were coming off a surprise postseason appearance, albeit brief (a wild-card <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> loss to the Astros), in 2015, fueled by late-career surges from Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira. Greg Bird and Luis Severino made promising big league debuts in \u201915. Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez enjoyed meaningful climbs up the minor league ladder, with Sanchez making a cameo in the majors.<\/p>\n<p>        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/pinstripe-pod\/yankeesreachnewlowfeat.-kool-ofkool-thegang?accentColor=2a2a2a&amp;bgColor=f6f6f6&amp;font-family=proxima%20nova&amp;logo=false&amp;secondaryColor=cc3333\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n        <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As they bought low on Aroldis Chapman, acquiring him from the Reds in a December 2015 trade as the closer awaited a domestic-violence suspension, the Yankees naturally hoped to do great things. Yet they envisioned a scenario in which A-Rod and Teixeira ran out of gas, in which their pitching proved insufficient, and in which they could peddle a pair of elite relievers \u2014 Chapman and Andrew Miller \u2014 as well as the October-tested Carlos Beltran for trade. They\u2019d figure out how to restock their bullpen, an area in which they have excelled, and they had Judge ready to succeed Beltran in right field.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" alt=\"Aaron Judge\" class=\"wp-image-18457944 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Aaron-Judge.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Aaron-Judge.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Aaron-Judge.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Aaron-Judge.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Aaron-Judge.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Aaron Judge<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Sabo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A-Rod and Teixeira indeed both cratered \u2014 neither played again after \u201916 \u2014 so the Yankees pivoted to sell mode for the first time since swapping Rickey Henderson back to Sandy Alderson\u2019s A\u2019s in 1989. Chapman went to the Cubs for a package headlined by Gleyber Torres. Miller went to the Indians for a package headlined by Clint Frazier. Beltran went to the Rangers for a package headlined by Dillon Tate, who two years later headlined the Yankees\u2019 package to land Zack Britton from the Orioles.

After many graduations and deals over the last five years, the Yankees\u2019 farm system ranks in the middle of the industry (18th, per MLB.com), as goes the cycle.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, a middle-of-the-pack minor league system makes a pursuit for someone like Arizona\u2019s Ketel Marte more difficult from a talent-acquisition standpoint before we even discuss luxury-tax implications; while Hal Steinbrenner memorably bent on staying under the threshold in 2014, the Yankees acted last winter as if they would keep their payroll under $210 million, just as they didn\u2019t pass the $197 million threshold in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Stuck these Yankees are, somewhat, between a rock and a hard place. They\u2019ll continue to try to solve the mystery of their disappearing hitters, to look for external help when not much is available yet, to aim to acquire a center fielder, be it Marte or someone else, by the July 30 trade deadline. They\u2019ll hope to get boosts from the returns of Luke Voit (maybe by the end of this month) and Severino (next month) from the injured list.<\/p>\n<p>Questions must be answered, consequences faced, if the Yankees can\u2019t solve this mess. But since many of you have asked, salvation appears more likely to come from a revival, far from a guarantee, than the perpetually crowd-pleasing reboot.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
