This Team Is A Bigger Obstacle For the Yankees Than the Rays

Send us Fan MailWith about five weeks left to the 2026 regular season, the Yankees entered this week just three games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the loss column in the American League East.With four games remaining on the schedule against the Rays, you could say that the Yankees are at least somewhat in control of their destiny.The problem, though, is this - the Boston Red Sox were just three games behind New York in the standings.  And the Yankees host Boston this coming weekend in the Bronx in a four-game series that might actually be more important for New York than the Tampa Bay series.Yes, it would be great to catch the Rays and finish first in the division, but the prospect of facing the Red Sox at Fenway for the Wild Card Series is NOT a good scenario for the Yankees.Plus, Chris Swendeman had the opportunity to catch Rush on tour in Philadelphia and he was more than excited about how the band sounded.Follow us on Social Media for more content.YouTube FacebookTwitter (you want to call it X, go ahead)
