During the regular season, the '26 Yankees had the fifth best record in baseball.
To do this, they spent $244 million on salaries, the fourth highest payroll in baseball.
In the October postseason, they went 2-3 and were swept by a team they outspent in salaries by $130 million.
The owner considers it a success, because the Yankees won 93 games.
By his measure, they have achieved 10 successful seasons in the 17 years since their last championship.
A job well done, people!
Before we toast another glorious Yankee season, a brief announcement:
The Yankees will bring back our "dynamic duo," our favorite GM and manager, for at least one more year, though we hope for many seasons to come!
Unfortunately, there is a chance that no baseball will be played in '27, or that a shorter season will not launch until mid-summer.
America will not have baseball.
New York will not have the Yankees.
Our owner will not have a team.
But as the years go by, we will always be able to think back on 2026 and smile.
I'm popping my buttons. We won 93 games.

I for one am grateful that the DEVILS did not have a better record than the brew crew.
I am staying a 10 minute walk from the indoor arcade in St. Pete the next two days. Bad enough that it will be on every tv.
Winning 93 games is not a failure if your goal was to win 93 games.
If your goal is getting to the World Series, it is a failure. If your goal is winning a World Series, it is also a failure.
And that is the trouble with this team, in a nutshell. Management is fine with the 93 wins. The fans want the other goals. Which we won't reach as long as Hal, Cashman, and Boone are in place.
