Franchise Profile - New York

CLAIMED!


Team History

Number of Owners: 5
Division Titles: 5
Playoff Appearances: 13
Division Championships Series Victories: 6
National League Championships: 4
World Series Championships: 1

Recent History:

S23 Record: 67-95
S24 Draft Pick: #5

Combined record past 5 years: 445-365 (.549)

It's not often you find a team with a .549 winning percentage over the last 5 seasons that also has a top 5 pick. This is a solid team that is starting to get up there in age and was the victim of a one-and-done owner the previous season. Still some gas left in the tank, and with some smart free agent signings it could potentially be a 90 win team with a top 5 draft pick. Alternatively, there are some assets to trade if you do want to go for a full rebuild.
