We're just putting clown noses on everyone in the Yankee organization this week, aren't we?
If this news report by Sports Illustrated is true, Hal Steinbrenner is the biggest Bozo of them all. SI is reporting that Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman both will return next year. They write:
"...Steinbrenner is expected to bring Cashman back, meaning team manager Boone will most likely return as well.Boone just finished the first year of his three-year deal though he has managed the team since 2018. He took the team to the ALCS this year before the Yankees were swept by the Astros.
If fans speak out against Cashman and/or Boone, it’s possible that Steinbrenner will rethink their return to the team."
It goes on to say that nothing is certain yet, but look, we know the way this organization operates. They like puppets. Boone does whatever the front office says, and when he's left to his own devices he sucks as well. So there's really no winning if you're a Yankees fan.
If you read CASHMAN - THE RICH KID, O'Hara says "The sad thing is Hal, Randy and Lon seem like they are just corporate stooges in most companies thinking, "F it. I'm rich and will stay that way. Why rock the boat?"
And you really have to start thinking that they really don't care because the money is pouring in. Rain delay's that last longer than an hour at Yankee stadium in a packed house can make half a million alone! So why win a championship if they're rolling in the dough anyway?
The bottom line is we as fans need to beat the drum as fans and beat it hard.
Twitter was and has been lit up for 2 days calling for Boone's firing. He is an awful manager. I know many hate Cashman, but I don't. I actually believe that Cashman gives us the players we need. Sure, some are duds, but that goes with the territory. Not everyone is good in the Bronx. Boone however needs to manage and STOP TRYING TO BE THESE PLAYER'S FRIENDS. He does not understand gut decisions and he definitely plays favorites. If he didn't, we probably would have seen German in more than one game.
Look, I want Boone out, and I want him out now. Let's hope Hal cuts him loose. Cross your fingers... kind of like how Boone it every game.
Hal and his gang are happy to put a winning product on the field to keep the fans interested, but not a championship caliber club,because the bottom line is what matters most not championships.
ReplyDeleteAnother point about the potential Judge contract,if the Yankees sign him for let's say north of $300 million and he doesn't produce especially in the post season he will have to play under enormous pressure the rest of his career in New York.
