Sometimes, a team, a general manager, a manager — anyone involved in the workings of a franchise — can carry equity with fans from one year into the next. Sometimes, there’s a degree of patience that remains intact because of past results, a tinge of optimism from a year that fell short shifting over. If the Yankees possessed any of that after their run to the World Series in 2024, most of it evaporated with an exit in the ALDS last year — and the last bit likely disappeared when the Yankees opted to essentially run it back with their roster this year.
