The New York Yankees had been through a tough period for a long time. The last time they won a World Series was in 2009. It went downhill from there on for the NY side. They failed to make the postseason on multiple occasions. Moreover, the 2023 season was a wake-up call for the Bronx Bombers. Clearly, they needed to make a lot of things right. Hence, the front office planned and executed some significant changes. Moreover, the Bronx Bombers promised the fans they would make really essential changes. And that’s exactly what they did this offseason.
Clearly, the Yankees were one of the busiest teams this winter. And the changes have already been pretty impactful. Most importantly, the addition of Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres has been such a literal as well as a mental boost for the team. Now, they know that, unlike last year, the 2024 season presents two superstar hitters in the Yankees roster. Last season, Aaron Judge’s toe injury turned out to be too costly for the NY side. But now the fans are eagerly waiting to see the Judge-Soto duo in action. Moreover, the Yankees skipper says this year it will be different.
Aaron Boone Said The Team Is Hell-Bent To Win The World Series Again
On Wednesday, as per ESPN, Aaron Boone mentioned after missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the Yankees are desperate to win the World Series. In 2023, the Bronx Bombers nearly finished with a losing season for the first time since 1992. But they ended up with 82-80. It was a tremendous shame because the Yankees also hoped to contend for the title last year. Anyhow, Aaron Boone said the 2023 season was nothing of what the franchise wants, demands, or expects. Moreover, the Yankees skipper noted that the organization from the owners, the front office, and the players have all poured into changing significantly.
Boone feels they have prepared well and are ready to roll. Moreover, the manager mentioned they must prove to the world that they are as good as they think they can be. Adding to that, he said they have a chance to be a really special team. After all, the Yankees manager believes that’s all they can strive to be. Moreover, the NY side looks like having the most improved outfield in terms of WAR, as per MLB.com.
Yankees Manager Said Last Season Was Like “Getting Sand Kicked In The Face”
Aaron Boone mentioned how last season ended, it really left a sour taste. Nobody wants to go through that ever again, as a club feels the skipper. But the Bronx Bomber’s manager has faith in the group they have this year. He said it is group that focuses on diligently preparing and getting ready to give their best to have a great season.
Moreover, Aaron Boone said that there is another reason behind their motivation. And that is not to let the last season repeat again. That’s what they are focusing on constantly not to have that happen ever again. Boone concluded that there are a lot of people in the organization “With pride in there.”
