Yankees manager Aaron Boone described his team’s clubhouse as “broken” after they were swept by an unnamed opponent in Game 3 of the ALDS at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees lost 4-3, ending their season on a disappointing note. Boone made lineup changes for this game, including benching Jazz Chisholm Jr., who is now a free agent and will need to be replaced next season due to his production issues.

Story summary
Aaron Judge, who missed the entire ALDS due to a right calf strain, sent a blunt message to the Yankees' front office after their sweep by the Tampa Bay Rays: "We’re the Yankees. I feel like they should go all in and do what they need to do." The Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs for the second consecutive year, losing three straight games to the Rays at Yankee Stadium. Judge's absence was notable as he had played only 66 regular-season games this year, a career low. The series saw controversy with Anthony Volpe’s potential game-tying home run being called back due to fan interference in Game 3. Yankees fans are now questioning the front office's decisions for next season, including roster moves involving players like Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan McMahon.
