The New York Yankees are struggling as much right now as they have in the last few years. This team, led by manager Aaron Boone, seemed to get too complacent with the American League pennant and division title last year.

There’s no fire in the Bronx right now. There’s nothing to fear besides Aaron Judge. Everything seems a little flat at this point.

As the Yankees have slowly but surely slid down the standings, the team has seemed to grow flatter and flatter.

On Saturday, the Yankees welcomed a lot of the franchise’s legends back to town for an alumni game. Some of those all-time greats, including Jorge Posada, voiced their opinion on the current state of the Yankees.

“They gotta get a little angry … they need to have a chip on their shoulder. You can’t be friends with everybody,” Posada told SNY’s Chelsea Sherrod ahead of the franchise’s “Old-Timers’ Game” on Saturday afternoon.

If anybody’s opinion on the Yankees matters, it would be Posada’s. Posada is a 17-year MLB veteran, having played all 17 seasons with the Yankees. He won four World Series in six trips to the championship. The legend knows what it takes to win.

Posada’s message to the Yankees is simple: play with a chip on your shoulder.

Making it to the World Series last year is a huge step in the right direction, but at the end of the day, they fell short of the final goal. If the Yankees don’t pick up the pace in the near future, they’re going to fall short of the postseason altogether.
