How the New Jersey Devils Are Better Run than the New York Yankees

We are in the middle of baseball season, but New York Yankees fans are already looking forward to New Jersey Devils hockey.

The 2023 season is the worst New York Yankees season most young fans have ever seen. It’s unbelievable, but what was once an organization that was very proud is now in the same position the New Jersey Devils had been just a year ago. After seeing the fruits of their labor, it’s clear the Devils are a much better run team, both on the ice/field and in the front office.

So what changed? There are a few reasons for this change.

Devils Have Better Players and Talent

If you want to talk about the type of talent and players the Yankees have, look no further than Aaron Judge. Judge is perhaps one of the best players in baseball today and broke an AL record of 62 home runs last year. Judge is now captain of the Yankees after signing a long-term deal last offseason.

However, the rest of the offense lacks any good talent. Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu were once great players, but right now, they cannot hit the ball. Then you have players like Harrison Bader, Gleyber Torres, and rookie Anthony Volpe. While those guys can get going eventually, their momentum won’t last long, and they’d be back to their rough at-bats in no time.

Pitching-wise, Gerrit Cole has been dominant this year, striking out guys and avoiding earned runs. Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt are playing well despite some inconsistent starts. Carlos Rodon has looked about average in his first starts as a Yankee.

The bullpen started well but regressed in July. This Yankees team wants to have the talent to go to the World Series, but when you lack any offense most nights and have pitchers give up multiple runs a game, that’s not a stable team.
