Rival Preview: The Yankees made a huge splash this winter after a very disappointing season

YardBarker - 165 days ago - For the first time since 2016, the New York Yankees did not play postseason baseball. While that’s a sentence that fans of other baseball fans dream of hearing, the Yankees reloaded in multiple ways that put them right back in position to compete for a World Series. Or, they’re in a position to lose to the Astros in the ALCS once again. We’ll see. The Yankees finished 2023 with a record of 82-80 and fourth place in the AL East. After spending 170 calendar days in first place in 2022, New York only held at least a share of the division lead for two days in 2023. If you look at their leaders in bWAR for the season, it’s a good summation of how their season went. In other words, I don’t think anyone expected Tommy Khanle and Ian Hamilton to be in the top 10 of that list.

IIHF bars two national teams through 2024-25 season

As such, the two countries will not field squads at the upcoming Men’s World Championships this spring, at the 2025 World Juniors, and, more importantly for Belarus, at the final qualification round for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. This decision does not mean that Russia will be barred from the 2026 Olympics, which will be the first edition that NHLers are permitted to attend in 12 years. The IIHF Council cited current safety risks for their decision and will review each country’s status again in May 2025.
