Since the Steinbrenners won't sell, ever, we really need to look down the road to find an heir that can restore the franchise to its former greatness.
Sure, most to all of us will be dead by the time another one takes the reins, but eventually there will be another Steinbrenner in charge.
This guy look promising...
George Michael Steinbrenner IV
He's already cutting his sports ownership teeth with his Indy Car team. Plus, if the Yankees need some extra money to sign a free agent, George Michael already knows, "There's money in the banana stand."
Then there's his sister...
She is now the co-owner of Steinbrenner Racing.
Both are the children of Hank BTW. Hank, if you recall was behind the second A-Rod contract and was removed shortly thereafter from "the family business". That said, Hank wanted to win!
There's also...
Katherine Steinbrenner
Hal's daughter has supposedly expressed interest in running the Yankees.
I could not find a photo or anything else on her other than from a Wikipedia entry that was so dated Hank is still alive and the odds are good that Steve Swindal will be running the Yankees soon. So take it with a grain of salt.
I guess there's always...
A Dark Horse
I'm certainly not looking for a King Ralph type situation, but perhaps there is a 14th cousin hanging around somewhere that will ascend to the throne in meteoric fashion.
I'll leave you with this. Even if the dynastic ruler of the Yankees changes we may not get the relief we are seeking. According to Wikipedia, "(Brian Cashman) and his (former) wife, Mary, have two children, Grace and Theodore."

Doug, I think I found the elusive Katherine by searching for Kate Steinbrenner.
She keeps a very low profile. Her LinkedIn page notes that she worked in the ticket booth at the Tampa field five or six years ago when she was in college. She also has a sparse Etsy page for interior design, with one comment from 2021.
She's very cute. https://twitter.com/kathstein12 has some pics with gal friends from what I guess was college days.
I was going to say that if she was running the team, the guys would play harder, but I know you guys would immediately think of something dirty, so I decided against it.
One word: ugh
Yeah, JM, she's very cute. Those pics are a little more than 5 years old and thank god Katherine doesn't look like her 2 aunts!
Hey, you never know. The original Steinbrenner made the family fortune when a sudden squall on Lake Erie sank the ship carrying all his in-laws. True story!
I kid, I kid. Actually, the 14 grandkids is a good thing because...it makes it all the more likely the family will have to sell the team SOMEDAY to make everyone happy.
Katie is vegan.
I'm not sure she would allow herself to enter Yankee Stadium. Some Vegan Law would be violated between the concessions and the Bleacher Creatures
I’m pretty sure vegans can eat rat turds, Archie. The creatures, though…
As a decades-old vegetarian, I can assure you that rodent turds are strictly off limits. Even their saliva on nibbled frozen French fries is taboo. Damn, it sure makes it hard to dine on anything at Yankee Stadium a tough task for a vegan or vegetarian.
By the way, an oldie but goodie from The Kid From Brooklyn on the concession stands at Yankee Stadium:'
