Yankees Reportedly Will Make 'Massive' Changes This Upcoming Offseason
Things are going to look different with the New York Yankees in 2024.
New York has had an underwhelming season this year. The Yankees currently are 80-77 but at one point were expected to be World Series contenders. Injuries certainly are one of the biggest reasons for the team's inconsistent play this year, but the club has made some difficult decisions over the last few years in general. Trades haven't gone as expected -- like with former Most Valuable Player Josh Donaldson -- and things haven't panned out.
Because of this, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has ordered a full audit of the club and it could lead to massive changes, according to NJ.com's Bob Klapisch.
"Each passing day brings the Yankees closer not just to the end of this forgettable season, but to the organization’s full audit ordered by Hal Steinbrenner," Klapisch said. "The drama is about to get real. One person familiar with the baby Boss’ thinking believes there will be “massive” changes in the way the Yankees do business in 2024.
"It’s still uncertain whether the overhaul will cost Aaron Boone his job, but Steinbrenner is committed to finding out what went wrong and how to fix it. That means Boone will have to wait to learn this fate – at least in the short term. The investigation will begin in early October, although interestingly, the company conducting the audit will not recommend personnel changes. The analysis will instead focus on process and how the Yankees compare to other clubs."
Rumors have been swirling for weeks that changes would be coming and it doesn't sound like they are going away any time soon. The Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2009 and after the struggles this season, it's unclear if they will over the next few years. New York could make a few big splashes this offseason and get back to contender status but it's clear a lot of work needs to be done.
