If the Yankees lose tonight, they will be eliminated from the postseason, ending their 2025 season. This is because they are currently in a best-of-five ALDS series against the Toronto Blue Jays, and a loss in Game 4 would give the Blue Jays the series victory with a 3-1 advantage.
Context of their elimination
- The Yankees trail in the series after losing the first two games in Toronto and managed to win Game 3 at home, but it was not enough.
- The Blue Jays secured their spot in the ALCS by defeating the Yankees in Game 4, which also marks the end of the Yankees’ hopes for this postseason.
Additional implications
- If they lose, they are out of the playoffs, and their season will conclude, with their championship drought extending to 16 seasons.
- A loss could also prompt managerial changes, as speculation around the future of Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been reported, especially if the team is eliminated.
