Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As we gather around the dinner table with our friends and families today to give thanks, don’t forget about what us New York Yankees fans have to be thankful for.

It is a great time to be a New York Yankees fan. Despite not yet having a manager, the Yankees have a ton of young talent, fell just one game shy of the World Series in 2017, and they still have one of baseball’s top farm systems.

The MLB offseason will soon be in full swing with the Shohei Otani sweepstakes starting up next Friday. The Yankees are expected to be big-time players in those negotiations and are considered by many to be the favorites to sign Otani.

Being a Yankees fan has been exciting for most of the last 25 years. However, there’s something about where this team is headed that has the feeling of something special.

Without further ado, here are five things New York Yankees fans should be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
