Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has expressed his commitment to improving the team's performance following a season he deemed 'unacceptable'. Despite the team already having a record payroll and being above the luxury tax threshold, with a projected luxury-tax payroll around $306.7M, Steinbrenner has mostly delivered on his promises by pushing the payroll over $300 million. This includes hopes of having Juan Soto as a long-term player for the Yankees. Steinbrenner's efforts reflect his expectations for a 'Bronx bounce back' in 2024, emphasizing his dedication to making substantial upgrades to the roster.
