Pedro Martinez’s Sad Take on the Yankees After Ugly Loss Had Fans Feeling Even Worse About Their Team

In this story:
The New York Yankees have been one of the most disappointing teams in all of baseball this season and they may have just hit rock bottom Tuesday night in Atlanta, where they got just one hit in a 5-0 loss to the Braves.
The defeat dropped the Yankees to 60-60 on the year and left them well behind the rest of the teams in AL East.
Pedro Martinez, who had many classic moments against the Yankees during his legendary career, gave his thoughts on the team and its struggles, saying “it’s hard to watch the Yankees go that way.”
