"Turning the end of the Yankees' season into a referendum on Alex Rodriguez is reductive. This is a team that suffered multiple major injuries to key players, yet still won 95 games and an AL East title before an ALCS loss to the team with the best pitcher and best hitter on earth.1 Rodriguez was hardly alone in his struggles as the Tigers swept the Yankees out of the playoffs, joining Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, and Nick Swisher to form a Voltron of playoff incompetence. 2013 and beyond are a different story. When asking, 'What the hell do the Yankees do from here?' the answer starts with, 'What the hell do the Yankees do with A-Rod?'"
