This year the Yankees won 12 more games than in 2023. The big difference by far was Juan Soto, whose 7.9 WAR is basically 2/3 of that improvement. Needless to say, the Yankees HAVE to bring him back next year. Soto and Stanton basically carried the offense, and the pitching staff bent but did not break. It's still hard to believe that the Yankees are pennant winners. They will be big underdogs against whichever NL team they play (Go Dodgers!). Still, tonight's just fun to appreciate this unexpected pennant, brought to them by the big new guy.
