This is just something people who don't like the Yankees say about them.
+1 on that

The Orioles haven't appeared in the postseason in 7 years, but yeah, that's the most logical AL East destination for a guy looking to win.

The Yankees are in last place and have a losing record. They have 2 starters with a league average OPS. Doesn't mean they will continue to suck, but last place teams are not usually considered winning destinations. The Orioles are in 1st place with a balanced, younger team with most of them outperforming the league.

I understand that but the Yankees aren't a basement dwelling team and they have an owner who wants to win, which is largely different from what you'll find in Baltimore. Baltimore is good this year. Their owner is largely considered one of the worst in the American League.

They are very literally in the basement right now. Let me guess, you are a Yankees fan?
