History

Historical Context

Since Joe Torre’s 1998 squad set a franchise-record 114-win season, the Yankees have routinely reshaped rosters amid injuries. Aaron Boone, now in his third year, followed that playbook in 2020’s pandemic-shortened 60-game season and again in 2024 by placing Giancarlo Stanton on the IL, recalling rookie Jasson Domínguez and optioning Luis Gil. These strategic moves have kept the club in postseason contention.
