Yankees Season is Over After an ALDS Sweep. | 1424

The Yankees' front office and managerial decision-making, not just talent, drove their worst-ever postseason offensive showing and another early exit.

• Season-ending sweep: The Yankees were swept by the Rays in the ALDS, extending their World Series drought to 17 years, the longest in franchise history.
• Lineup instability cited as root cause: Hosts note six of nine lineup spots were unsettled entering the ALDS, with Trent Grisham (0.7 WAR, making $10M more than Tampa's highest-paid player) batting leadoff and going 0-for-5.
