Introduction
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the Bronx, New York City. The Yankees compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two AL teams based in New York City; the other is the New York Mets. The Yankees began play in the 1901 season as the Baltimore Orioles (no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles), moving to New York in 1903 and adopting their current name in 1913.
History of the Yankees
The 2021 New York Yankees season will be the 119th season for the Yankees in New York City, and the 121st overall season for the franchise. The team will attempt to improve upon their disappointing 2020 campaign in which they failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008, ending a streak of thirteen consecutive playoff appearances.
Offseason acquisitions include pitchers Corey Kluber and Darren O’Day, infielder DJ LeMahieu (who re-signed), as well as outfielders Brett Gardner and Jay Bruce. As per baseball’s new COVID-19 rules, all thirty teams will play a 60-game regular season schedule rather than the usual 162 games.
Spring training will begin in mid-February, with pitchers and catchers reporting first followed by the rest of the team a week later. The Yankees’ first game of spring training is scheduled for February 27 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
