Roger Clemens on Yankees' 2024 season
The New York Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2009, but following a decent offseason, they should be at least make the postseason in 2024.
Roger Clemens recently gave his two cents on the Yankees situation from the perspective of their fanbase and how the team could produce a good postseason.
"I guarantee you it's weighing on Cash and Brian Cashman and Boony. I mean, really all the teams that I played on, even in Boston too.
"When you have the fan base that you have, they love the game. They show up after work. They take their tie and jacket off, get a beer and a dog, and here we go," Clemens said to SI.
According to Roger Clemens, the key for the Yankees will be to stay healthy and have a good front-pitch rotation to have a deep postseason run.
"I mean, they have to stay healthy. I mean, that's the key," Clemens added.
"They better have a one-two punch at the front of the rotation because you've got to have that in October, and you better throw some leather at him. You better be able to catch it."
It remains to be seen if the Yankees can end their long World Series drought this year.
