Quick Summary

The Yankees won 93 games this season, finishing second in the American League, and advanced to one round of the playoffs. Despite their consistent success over recent decades—making the postseason nine times out of ten years and twenty-seven times in thirty-two years—they face intense criticism for not winning a title. The team dismisses much of this criticism as irrelevant "noise," suggesting it is uninformed and malicious, while critics argue that modern media amplifies negative commentary due to its popularity.

Story summary

Despite winning 93 games and reaching the postseason for the ninth time in 10 years, the New York Yankees are facing heavy criticism this fall. This pattern occurs annually when the team fails to win a championship despite their consistent excellence over the past three decades. The Yankees view much of the outside critique as mere "noise," dismissing it as ill-informed and mean-spirited. Joel Sherman notes that in today's media environment, bold and loud commentary often outsells well-reasoned analysis.
