New look Yankees come down to Earth
New York Yankees: 63-60

The Yankees got off to an electric start after the trade deadline, with new talent providing for New York in spades. That spark died down a bit as the Yankees went 3-3 on the week.

Despite holding on to a close home opener against the Blue Jays, they were not able to hold on in a tough three-game set. They rebounded by taking two of three from the Angels to end the week.

New York still remains in the mix for the second Wild Card spot, trailing by only four games. that said Seattle, Detroit, Houston, and Kansas City are all ahead of them on the list.

The Yankees have yet again gotten more progress from their promising core of rookies. Chad Greene may have taken the loss on Sunday night, but the young 25-year-old went six strong innings. He’s just the latest in a line of “Baby Bombers” to make strides for the Yankees. Wild Card contenders or not, the future of the Yankees looks very bright.

Final Takeaway:

The youth movement is alive and well in New York. With so many promising young stars making excellent strides, the Wild Card Race is a mere afterthought when thinking of all the things these players can do for the Yankees in future campaigns.
