The root of Google's malaise is that the web is dying. If I go to yankees.com, I get a 403. The Yankee's official site is now mlb.com/yankees, i.e. they've signed on to the generic Major League Baseball portal and just have a stock database record there. Likely they did this because the cost to run an independent website has ballooned, with all the abuse prevention and detection, anti-spam, hacking & cybersecurity, people who are trying to do something illegal and use your website as a conduit for it, legal regulations, DDoS prevention, etc. stuff you have to do.

FWIW, this site is down about 2-3 screenfuls in Google, well below the fold, so Google isn't blameless here. The results above it are a sports onebox, news universal, and Twitter highlights, though, all about the Yankees/Phillies game tonight, so arguably they are showing what users actually are most likely to want to see.

yankees.com redirects to mlb.com/yankees and this has been the case for decades. All of the clubs have their sites managed by the League. All of the owners went in on MLBAM (MLB Advanced Media) in the 2000s to centralize the tech league wide. MLBAM became BAMTech which then sold to Disney to became Disney+. The league still has a whole tech team to maintaining not only the majors but minor league teams too.
