Although the New York Yankees made the MLB playoffs this year, they suffered a bitter end to their season. In the AL Wildcard game earlier this month, the Yankees suffered a heavy loss to their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox, which saw them go another season without a World Series title.

Despite possessing some of the most talented players in the MLB today, the Yankees struggled to bring back their glory days of old. Recently, former Red Sox legend David Ortiz gave his take on the current Yankees team, highlighting the key quality they need to succeed in the future.

David Ortiz believes the New York Yankees need team chemistry

In a career spanning nearly two decades, Ortiz had his fair share of run-ins with the Yankees. The former Red Sox designated hitter established himself as one of the greats of the game, winning the World Series three times. In addition, he also featured in the All-Star game 10 times and features on the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.

In a recent interaction, Ortiz believed although the Yankees have top talents, they lack team chemistry. The 45-year-old added without chemistry, even the most talented teams face little chance of achieving success.
