Who’s to blame for the Yankees’ struggles?

No need to embellish here. The American League standings tell the story: The Yankees, after getting crushed on Sunday in a series rubber match with Cleveland, wake up Monday morning 1.5 games out of playoff position (two in the loss column) with 12 games left. Fangraphs’ playoff odds gave the Bombers a 28.7 percent chance of claiming a wild card. It’s not looking good.

Who do you think have been the culprits, on or off the field, during their recent malaise? And should the Yankees indeed fail to make the playoffs, who’s to blame — whether it’s ownership or the GM or the manager or individual players? Sound off below.
