Have The Red Sox Caught Up With The Yankees Yet?

[Draft Post: October 18, 2021 (Why did I not post this last fall? Did I tack it onto the end of another post?)]

After the Yankees decisively lost the AL Wild Card Game, manager Aaron Boone said some bizarre things . . . like how the rest of the American League had finally caught up to the Yankees.

I'm not sure how a team can have been outplaying the entire league during the exact same 11-year time period in which it has not played a single World Series game.
The league has closed the gap on us. . . . [I]t's not just the Red Sox and the Astros now in our league. Look at our division, the Rays are a beast, Toronto, there's some teams in the Central that are better and better, teams in the West that are better and better, teams that have closed the gap on us.

In the last 11 years, the Red Sox have won three pennants and are currently trying to win their third World Series title. The Yankees have won zero pennants and zero World Series anythings
