The Yankees can't let the free-agent star get away for a third time
The Yankees have to have Gerrit Cole. The problem is the Yankees most likely won’t offer what Cole is looking for, and they could miss out on him for a third time.
The Yankees need to move on from the shortstop they got five unexpected good seasons from
I don’t want the Yankees to bring Didi Gregorius back. It’s time to move on. It’s not that I would be upset if the Yankees do decide to bring him back, I just don’t want them to.
The left-hander's career came to an end in the most fitting way
I will remember the good times from CC Sabathia’s Yankees career and him representing a time when ownership would do whatever to build the best possible roster, when only winning the World Series mattered.
The first real season of the Yankees' championship window of opportunity was wasted
Two 100-win seasons in a row, both ended with elimination after the offense performed its annual October disappearing act. The Yankees can’t bring back the same team next year and expect a different result.
The Yankees' season is on the brink of elimination
It’s going to take a miracle for the Yankees to win this series. Three wins against the best team in baseball and two of the best pitchers in baseball and the best home team in baseball.
It took the Yankees one game to give home-field advantage back to the Astros. One lousy game in which the Yankees left nine on against the best pitcher in baseball.
The Yankees did their job in Houston, but could have done even more
It’s hard to feel good coming off a loss, but the Yankees should recognize it’s the Astros who should feel down after giving away the home-field advantage.
