Yankees have been mediocre for 12 months: Can they turn it around?

It’s been over a year since the 2022 Yankees raced out to a superb start that turned into a second-half slump and disappointing playoff exit. We’ll take a look at what’s gone wrong since then and why, despite their inconsistent first half in 2023, they could still make a late-season run.

DETROIT The Detroit Tigers hit back-to-back solo home runs in the sixth inning, but couldn’t muster any other offense in a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs Friday night at Comerica Park.
The Tigers (13-25) snapped a four-game winning streak with the loss, while the Cubs (18-19) snapped a three-game losing streak.
Jake Arrieta had faced the minimum through 5 2/3 innings, eliminating three Detroit baserunners on double plays. But catcher Jake Rogers hit a 3-2 pitch over the left-field fence, and just two pitches later, outfielder Robbie Grossman hit one about 100 feet farther to the seats in right-center.

In 2017 I watched Jake Arrieta throw what we all thought would be his last game as a Cub and I wrote this piece where I talked about Jake’s role with the Cubs as “the Stopper.” The pitcher who just always seemed to come through at big moments when the team needed him most. That piece contains a thought exercise where I made this argument:
The thing I think we miss about Jake sometimes, however, is his greatness for the Chicago Cubs, and I’m not talking about the stint in 2015 where he was the best pitcher in the history of the game (I’m sure most of the people reading this know I’m not being hyperbolic there, but if you don’t, read this). No, see, Jake was great even if you revert some of his 2015 numbers to the mean. Even if you eliminate the six month period where no one could hit against him. Even if you vacated his Cy Young Award.
