The team looked to improve their standings from 1991 when they finished fifth in the American League East with a 71–91 record. The Yankees did improve their record by five games and finished tied for fourth place with the Cleveland Indians at 76–86, 20 games behind their division rival and eventual World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays. Nevertheless, the team finished with a losing record for the fourth consecutive year, with 86 being their fewest losses in that span. As of September 2026, this is the last time that the Yankees have finished with a losing record, as they have currently gone 34 consecutive seasons with a winning record from 1993 to 2026 — the longest active streak in North American professional sports.
