As MLB spring training approaches in 2025, the perception of the New York Yankees has shifted under owner Hal Steinbrenner, who claims they are now just another team among franchises like the Dodgers. This statement has prompted reactions from various figures within baseball, many of whom find the notion unconvincing. Managers and executives maintain that the Yankees remain a force in baseball, showcasing the tension between the franchise's historical dominance and its current status in the league.
They're still the Yankees, man. I'm not buying that. They have to be the Evil Empire. They're the Yankees.
I'm not going to challenge anything Mr. Steinbrenner says, but I think they're really good.
I'm not going to be playing the world's smallest violin for the Yankees.
It's difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kind of things that they're doing.
