The column comes from a Toronto reporter who’s sure the readers will agree that the New York Yankees have been the standout team in Major League Baseball’s toughest division. Under manager Aaron Boone, the Yankees have stayed consistently hot, even as the other AL East clubs battle for scraps.
Boone has been in charge for eight seasons. During that time, the AL East – the league’s most competitive division – has seen every team slip below a .500 record. Yet only the Yankees have kept a winning percentage above .500 in the same span.
In the past three seasons, all five AL East teams have made the playoffs at least once. Still, the Yankees are the lone team in the division that has finished with a winning record each year. Their stability is a striking contrast to the usual drama of the Eastern Conference.
The writer isn’t shy about the buzz around Boone: “If even a small amount of praise for the Yankees will set people off on social media, maybe it’s time for some quiet hobbies,” he jokes. The point, though, is that the Yankees’ regular‑season consistency has kept them in the postseason spotlight, even when the division is blurring lines everywhere else.
