But Cashman is doing precisely the exact job Hal wants him to do. Find a perfect balance between payroll & competitiveness, enough so that it keeps the fans engaged but doesn’t threaten the bottom line. Winning in October is a “bonus” not the “mission”. As long as they make the playoffs, Hal seems content.
Yup. I agree. Unfortunately I assume it will take at least 2 straight losing seasons to even make Hal consider that. Because you know that if they miss the playoffs this year the excuse will be “injuries” or a “loaded” AL East… but if that’s what it will take, let’s make this season 1 of those 2 haha
Aaron Judge needs to speak up more since he’s the captain he has more power then Cashman if he wanted him gone it would happen with enough of the fan base backing Judge and media pressure.
That's a tough situation. While it definitely would be good to call him out publicly, because Cashman deserves it, I could see from Judge's perspective how that would look like throwing some of his teammates under the bus.
Aaron Judge needs to perform in the playoffs, he's been god awful the last several playoffs.
I agree... But I still think last year chasing 62 wore him down.
He does, this team isn’t going to the playoffs. Last year got lucky that Judge had an historical season and Jays being a dissapointment.
Orioles and Redsox have jumped the Yankees, Rays and Jays aren’t in the same ball park.
That was Germans game to finish he was at 88 pitches.
Remember when last season ended and free agents were getting signed? Cash made sure he got his contract before going after Judge.
Outside looking in perspective:
No suprise a media that won’t ask him any tough questions. An ownership and front office that doesn’t take any responsibility lining up the excuses, and finger pointing passing blame around.GM Brian Cashman tells Yankees fans: 'Don't give up on us'
The Yankees' general manager said Wednesday they are still "a championship-caliber operation," as long as they get healthier.www.espn.com
This is hilarious and just shows why he is ruining the Yankees. I mean don’t give up on us, the injuries are the reason or else this is a championship team? Cmon Brian you genius quit talking out of both sides of your mouth. Read the people you listed that the team is missing because of injuries please…ALL of those listed are players who have been on the injury lists multiple times this is nothing unusual for this group. Judge had a full year last year but it’s his first in ages. The rest are all usual suspects. This is your roster Brian and once again it will be a failure much like your last few years.
Gausmsn who 2 hit that Yankee lineup just gave up 6 runs in 3 innings to the Sox. The cellar awaits last years East division champions thanks to Cash!
It's pretty amazing what the Rays have done... with limited resources and support.
