there is zero reason for the Yankees to not have these types of players every year. Sucks for other teams, but like you said, there is really no salary cap, and the yankees have never been shy about spending money to build a dynasty. recently that money spent has been in the wrong spots. Let's not forget though that not having DJ and Bennetendi really hurt this team down the stretch, and as f***ed up as it may sound, losing Aaron Hicks actually hurt in terms of depth and positioning of players, not necessarily in terms of production. Not knowing who is playing SS or who is leading off is a Boone thing, not sure he can be the future, despite his winning %age. Things need to happen
