‘27 Yankees hit .307 as a team. Slugged .489. Run differential +376.

I’m not one to get caught up in era comparisons, but I guarantee you if you put the current Yankees lineup up against 1927 pitching, this group would be better. The sheer physical size and strength of these guys is nothing like existed in 1927.

That means nothing.  You can only compare within eras not between eras.  Everything changes. Of course the guys now are bigger. That’s a given. So you compare the 1927 Yankees against the rest of baseball in 1927 and you compare today’s Yankees with the rest of the teams in today’s baseball. 27 Yankees are probably the most decorated team ever.
