In our 20th Episode of Season 2, we are going to tackle the subject that most Yankee fans do not want to hear. Are the Yankees done as a dynasty or take that back is the aura of the New York Yankees finished?

The Yankees do not intimidate like they used to, they don’t even get the free agents that they desire, so what is it? What happened? Did the rest of the league catch up? Yes that is what it is. There is no longer the dynamic that the Yankees had when they processed the most money. They had the most power, they got the players they wanted ,they had the most scouts, they had the most minor league teams. That was in an era of the 30s 40s 50s into the mid 60s the power of the Yankees. Through the 70s the 80s they were stagnant and then the Joe Torre era of the 90s reestablished the Yankees clout, but today in 2025, they have the same basic chance of signing a free agent as a team like the San Diego Padres. We are gonna get into that and see what that’s about. After watching the Dodgers dismantle the Yankees again, it is sad because the aura the Yankees had, is laughed at now. The Yankees are just another team trying to get to the World Series. The Yankees used to think… all we need to do is stay close, get the starter out and take control. Now the result is hold on and see if the bullpen doesn’t blow the lead. The Dodgers simply laugh at the Yankees, and the Dodgers got into the heads of the Yankees as being inferior.

Derek Jeter used to say, “The Yankees play to win the World Series, anything less is a lost season”. Well, sorry, but this team really is thankful just to make the playoffs.

2009. That was the last year the Yankees won the World Series. In 2025 the Yankees are entering this season looking for that elusive World Series championship. Which has been 16 years since the Yankees hosted the championship parade. The last World Series before that was won prior to that was in 2000. In 25 years, the Yankees have won two world championships . How does that compare with other teams?
