Yankees 人物／姿／数字 to keep getting younger in offseason
NEW YORK (AP) ― There were two 祝賀s at Yankee Stadium during the season's final week ― both in the 訪問者s' clubhouse.
This is not what New York and its fans are accustomed to.
The Yankees like to spend the season wondering how 深い they will go in the postseason, not whether they will reach it.

"The goal here is not to get into the プレーオフs. The goal is to 勝利，勝つ World Series," 経営者／支配人 Joe Girardi said before Sunday's season finale, when the home clubhouse already was filled with boxes to be shipped to players' homes.
New York has not won a postseason game since Derek Jeter broke his ankle in the 2012 AL 選手権 Series opener. The Yankees have failed to reach the プレーオフs in three of the last four seasons.
General 経営者／支配人 Brian Cashman finally 説得するd owner Hal Steinbrenner in late July to start jettisoning 退役軍人s and 始める a 青年 movement. Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova were 貿易（する）d for prospects, and Alex Rodriguez was 解放（する）d.
"As an organization, we thought it was in our best 利益／興味 to make 貿易（する）s and try to get 支援する to the World Series-caliber type of team that we know that is going to take some work," Girardi said.
新人 catcher Gary Sanchez （機の）カム up from the minors on Aug. 3 and finished with a .299 打率, 20 ホームランs and 42 打点s in 53 games. Aaron 裁判官 and Tyler Austin arrived 10 days later and made an instant 衝撃 ― ホームランing 支援する-to-支援する in their first major league at-bats.
"I love the guys that we have here," said outfielder Brett Gardner, at 33 one of the 上級の Yankees. "I love a lot of the young players we saw that （機の）カム up over the course of the season. I'm a pretty big Gary Sanchez fan. So I think we've got a lot of young guys that are ready to 与える／捧げる at this level."
Girardi directed a blunt message to the young players on the final Friday of the season.
"There's a lot of work to do to get to where we want and there's younger kids knocking on older players' doors, and for the younger kids that have had some success, the hard part is not getting here, the hard part is sticking," he 解任するd telling them. "As people adjust to you, you have to make 調整s as a ballplayer. So I think next year's （軍の）野営地，陣営 could be 極端に 競争の激しい and you need to be ready."
WHAT WENT WRONG?
New York 得点する／非難する／２０d 680 runs, more than only Kansas City, Oakland and Tampa Bay の中で AL teams, and was shut out an AL-high 13 times. The 無（不）能 to play small ball and move 走者s was most evident on the road, where the Yankees went 36-45. ホームランs, 特に to 権利 field, seemed to 補償する at Yankee Stadium, where they went 48-33.
世界保健機構'S BACK?
Greg Bird 行方不明になるd the entire season に引き続いて shoulder 外科 and is the favorite to start at first base next year; Girardi says Austin will be given a chance to 勝利，勝つ the 職業 during spring training. Bryan Mitchell 人物／姿／数字s to compete for a rotation 位置／汚点／見つけ出す after 行方不明の most of the season に引き続いて a toe 傷害 late in spring training. He had a 3.24 ERA in five September 外見s. Luis Cessa and Chad Green also could compete for 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs in a rotation that 含むs Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia and Michael Pineda.
世界保健機構'S GONE?
New York probably won't 申し込む／申し出 a 契約 to Nathan Eovaldi, 許すing him to become a 解放する／自由な スパイ／執行官 after the 権利-hander had Tommy John 外科 for the second time. 救済 投手s Branden Pinder, Jacob Lindgren and Nick Rumbelow also will not be 利用できる for most or all of next season に引き続いて 肘 ligament 交替／補充s.
WHERE DOES LUIS SEVERINO GO?
The 22-year-old 権利-hander followed a strong debut in 2015 with an awful 2016, and he could become the next Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes, a 投手 the Yankees are uncertain about how to use. Shou ld Severino start or come out of the bullpen?
世界保健機構 COULD COME UP NEXT YEAR?
New York's farm system has transformed from one of the worst to one of the best. Outfielder Clint Frazier, shortstop Gleyber Torres and left-hander Justus Sheffield were acquired in the summer 貿易（する）s and joined a minor league system that already 含むd touted infielder Jorge Mateo and outfielder Blake Rutherford. With an 84-78 記録，記録的な／記録する, three 勝利，勝つs より小数の than last year, the Yankees will 草案 17th in the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する next June.
