Playing with standard player aging settings, the Yankees always seem to go straight into the crapper in my OOTP leagues. In my historical league, the Yankees never throw as much $ around relative to the rest of the league as they did historically. In my current MLB league, once aging hits Jeter, A-Rod, Teixeira, and Sabathia, the team becomes a complete train wreck.
In my current MLB League, (starting in 2012), they've gone 83-79, 86-76, 73-89, 70-92, 71-91, 74-88, and finally 71-91 in 2018. Zero playoff appearances.
Between OOTP's tendency to apply a steep aging curve to post-30 year old players, the lack of any kind of "Go See Bartolo Colon's Dr in the Dominican then get caught with another Team after you've helped the Yankees" logic, and the general inability for any simulation engine to possibly emulate the megalomania that is typically exemplified by the Yankees' FO, it seems like the game is somewhat rigged against the current operating model of the Yankees.
