"It was a dismal end to a season that promised much and the stark reality is the Yankees' wait for a first world title since 2009 will go on. "It's tough to describe," said superstar outfielder Aaron Judge. "We didn't do our job, didn't finish the goal. We had a special group in here, a lot of special players that made this year fun, but we didn't get the ultimate prize, so we came up short.""
"Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr added: "We all thought we were the team to win the World Series. "But baseball is baseball. We all know baseball can take a turn in any way, any time. Baseball favors nobody." There will be changes this summer but not a massive overhaul of a roster that finished with a 94-68 record, tied best in the AL. Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and Trent Grisham hit free agency, potentially creating issues at first base and in the outfield."
New York's Yankees were eliminated from the American League Divisional Series by the Toronto Blue Jays, losing Game 4 5-2 and the series 3-1. The season ended as a disappointment after a 94-68 campaign that tied for the AL best. Aaron Judge expressed frustration and regret at failing to achieve the ultimate prize. Jazz Chisholm Jr noted baseball's unpredictability. Changes are expected this summer but not a complete roster overhaul; several players will reach free agency. Gerrit Cole is slated to return from Tommy John surgery, and Aaron Boone is expected to retain his managerial position despite questions.
