Following the day of this Friday that corresponded to the 16th day of action in the 2021 MLB season, the New York Yankees They have the worst record in the American League and the third ugliest in all Major Leagues, yes, hard to believe, but it really is. The ‘Bronx Bombers’ have a 5-8 record number 15 in the ‘young circuit’ and are therefore in the basement of the East Division.
The team led by Aaron Boone he is half a game behind the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles (6-8). Even more sad is that NYY is 4-6 in the last 10 games and has lost the last three on the fairway. It’s the first time in the past 23 years that the Yankees have been the worst team in the American League:
To make matters worse, the Yankees have a negative record both at home (3-4) and on the road (2-4) and have scored fewer runs (50) than they got (54), so you can’t get that difference from -4 .

Even the American League Central and West team players don’t have quite as ugly a record as the Yankees: Minnesota Twins are 6-8, as are the Texas Rangers, so they’re half a game ahead of NYY.
On a general level (all MLB already takes into account the National League), only the Washington Nationals (4-7) and Colorado Rockies (3-10) have a worse track record than the Manhattan Mules, who are on par with the Chicago Cubs (5-8).
How long will the Yankees have the worst record in the Big Top?
