The arrival of Jasson Dominguez to the majors was not supposed to be the highlight of the Yankees’ September.

This team was built to win in 2023, not to be looking ahead to 2024 and beyond.

Less than a month ago, it seemed like they might have a chance to right themselves and make something of the season.

The Yankees were 57-52 on Aug. 3 and just 2 ½ games behind Toronto for the final AL wild card spot, with only the Red Sox between them and the Blue Jays.
