The midseason woes continue for the New York Yankees with no end in sight. After losing 3-0 to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, the Yankees have lost 16 of their last 22 games<\/a>. It’s the worst record in baseball over that span.<\/p>\n

Everything seems to have fallen apart in the Bronx. On June 14, they became the first team in 2024 to record their 50th win, and they moved to 50-22. Since then, almost everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. The rotation has regressed, the bats have fallen flat, and the bullpen is gassed. Not only have they lost most of their games, many of those losses were very winnable games. It’s not unusual for the Yankees to have these woes either. This is now the third straight season in which they’ve had a 5-15 stretch.<\/p>\n

What has gone wrong with the Bombers, and what can be done to fix it before it’s too late?<\/p>\n

The Yankees have lost 15 of 20. They’ve had a 5-15 stretch in each of the last three seasons after doing it in only three years from 1996-2021.<\/p>\n
