"I think we have a really talented group that is definitely focused on trying to be the best team in the game," GM Brian Cashman told MLB.com's Bryan Hoch in May. Their 2019 season ended in heartbreak, with Jose Altuve hitting a walk-off home run in Game 6 of the ALCS, and, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the start to everyone's 2020 campaign.
