One wonders what the late great Boss, George Steinbrenner, would be thinking about the 2021 Yankees. To be exact, tirades would be a certainty. The Boss was never shy about calling out players and staff for not earning their pay. Concurrently New York is not getting what they paid for. No American League club as a bigger payroll. Yet the Yankees struggle to stay barely above .500. Counter to that is a Red Sox team that was a preseason longshot with the baseball betting odds. Boston is one of the big surprises in baseball’s first half.
