Cashman on Boone: "If he was entering the free-agent market, I believe he would be the number one managerial candidate in baseball."

He's dumber than Boone.

Like I said, Cash is determined to prove that his pick was a great one.

Cashman: "Bottom line, shortstop is an area of need. We have to address it."

 

Gleyber to 2B

Correa to SS

Throwing good money after bad. George wouldn't have allowed this. Sad!

[dgalehouse]

After a thorough review of this season's disappointing performance , the Yankees determined that it was all the fault of the batting coach and the third base coach.

[moonslav59]

The Yankees are surely due for a spending spree.

 

And, they'll be paying Boone to sit home after next year, when they spend a boatload of money and miss out again.

Corey Seager and his left-handed bat might be a better fit...

Well, right now the only other candidates are Jayce Tingler and Mike Shildt.

 

And frankly, I think Shildt would be a more sought-after candidate. At least his team made the post-season....

Something not quite right with that statement...

[jacksonianmarch]

No words honestly. Your team underachieved and you get a three year contract. I wish I could underachieve like that and get a raise

He managed good, but they played bad.

Careful, the grammar police have been out in force, lately.

The Cardinals didn't make the post-season this year?

Why the ever living f*** is Taillon waiting til Oct 28 to have surgery?!? Should have happened 2 weeks ago. It’s a 5 month recovery time! He’s gonna miss the first month or two rebuilding arm strength

He's thinking ahead. This way he can delay his next surgery by two more months...

[mvp 78]

Corey Seager and his left-handed bat might be a better fit...

 

Yankees seem to like injury prone guys, so I guess it makes sense. If I was GM, I'd go for Correa.

He just wants the pain killers to hit over Halloween weekend. Makes sense to me.

I always wondered why so many pitchers wait.

 

I thought you might be the one with an answer.

Not that. Weren't you saying he'd be more sought-after than Boone?

In my opinion everything in the Yankees organization starts from the top down. It's obvious that the new Steinbrenners' main goal isn't winning, but rather finding the most cost effective way to keep fans watching the games and paying for tickets/merch. That then filters down to Cashman trying to put together the most cost effective and marketable team rather than the team most likely to win, and hiring less qualified coaches because they're cheaper. The Yankees reset their luxury tax in 2021 and will most definitely be over the threshold in 2022, so by all means they should be big spenders this offseason. If they stand pat and continue to scrounge the garbage piles of players then that should tell us all we need to know about what's important to ownership.

I don't disagree, but it's not like the yanks are all that stingy with their cash.

[Bellhorn04]

Maybe they have been a little stingy in recent years, if you compare their payroll costs to their revenues.

Indeed, but they did add Cole, extend LeMahieu and add a bunch of moderate deals, including $11M on Kluber.

 

My guess is, they spend big, this winter (Seger, Correa, Story and a pitcher).

[Bellhorn04]

Cashman actually said this in his press conference today:

 

"I hate to say it, but how dare anybody question when somebody commits the amount of dollars" that Steinbrenner has.

 

How dare? Great choice of words there, Brian. It makes him sound like an arrogant stuffed shirt who doesn't give a rat's ass about the fans.

I did say that. It’s also NOT the statement you boldfaced…

[jacksonianmarch]

George bought the Yanks in 73. His team won in 77 and 78 then rattled off an 18 year hiatus before the dynasty was built. His teams won 4 more times before his death in 2008. Hal took over shortly before George's death and has been the owner for 14 seasons, seeing the title only once. While he has continually fielded $200 mil teams, he has been unwilling to go far beyond the other teams, actually being outspent nearly every year be it by the sox or dodgers. He has never had a different GM, he has kept the same old guard his father handed over to him while the game has changed vastly around him. Hal has also run the Yanks as a business, maximizing squeezing every dollar out of the fans while not reinvesting it into the product on the field.

 

Hal has taught his personal monkey, Cashman, to never question the Yankee way and even shoot down any chance Hal isn't "totally invested" in the team while employing a puppet in Boone and even extending him. It is clear the direction is wrong. Yankee fans should be pissed.

notin, the Yankees made the post-season. You made it sound like they didn't. But maybe I mistook what you were saying.
