The 2023 New York Yankees season was the 121st season for the New York Yankees franchise. The Yankees began the season on March 30 against the San Francisco Giants at home and finished the season on the road against the Kansas City Royals. They entered the season as the defending AL East champions.
After the Yankees re-signed general manager Brian Cashman in December 2022, the team announced Brian Sabean as executive adviser to Cashman on January 2, 2023. Sabean spent 30 seasons with the San Francisco Giants (four as executive vice president), leading the organization to three World Series rings in the 2010s. He previously spent eight seasons with the Yankees, first joining as a scout in 1985.[2]
Despite starting off strong with a 48–38 record, the Yankees started to struggle, enduring losing streaks and going 34–42 the rest of the season. They failed to improve on their 99–63 record from the previous season after getting swept by the Atlanta Braves in late August falling one game below .500 for the first time this late in the season since 1995. After being defeated by the Washington Nationals, the Yankees had their longest losing streak since the 1982 season. They began to show improvement later in the season, but they struggled again as they fell back into .500. They were unable to repeat as AL East champions, due to the Orioles clinching the AL East. The Yankees were eliminated from playoff contention on September 24, missing the postseason for the first time since 2016.
The Yankees did manage to secure a winning record in their penultimate game when they defeated the Kansas City Royals on September 30. Their record of 82–80 was the team's worst since 1992, but nevertheless good enough to extend the longest active winning season streak in North American professional sports to 31 years.
