Whicker: Yankees like one of George Steinbrenner's big ships -- hard to turn around
“What’s wrong with the Yankees?
That’s not the right question.
The answers are obvious, and the issue isn’t new. The underlying assumption is faulty, too. Just because they spend doesn’t mean they’ll win, a lesson we should have learned by now.”

Mark Whicker: Here come the Tigers on rivalry weekend, with Javy Baez coming back
