Change is needed in the Yankees organization. It should've happened a long time ago. Hal Steinbrenner, Cashman and Aaron Boone are the experts on how NOT to run one of the richest franchises in all professional sports. They are the best at running a team into the ground and then setting fire to it. This just isn't working.
The last place Yankees with their 56-52 record that are 3.5 games out of a wild card spot and have finally shown us how terrible Cashman's team building skills are. This team would be below .500 without Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole right now. For years we have watched him bring in aged veterans at ridiculous contracts and massively underachieve. He hasn't delivered anything. Yeah, Joey Gallo was such a disaster and so was Aaron Hicks. The Josh Donaldson trade was just stupid and the Yankees as a whole can't hit! We've seen it for years! What about the lackluster inconsistent starting rotation and the compromised defense? Inserting a non-natural outfielder like Isiah Kiner-Falefa only compromises the defense. He doesn't know how to construct a strong team that can win a championship.
By now everyone knows it. We complain about it here. You complain about it on social media, fans are screaming "FIRE CASHMAN!" in the stands and yet Cashman always lives to see another year. I'm sure this year will be no different when all is said and done. Why does failure get rewarded with job security here? Loyalty buys mediocrity apparently. I can't say the same at my job. If my performance was anything like Cashman's, I'd kiss my job goodbye!
There's no accountability here! Ownership has no accountability. The front office has no accountability. Analytics are not analytical at all and have no accountability. Managers have no accountability. Players have no accountability. Yankees medical team along with the strength and conditioning coaches have no accountability. This is just an organization that has run wild with ZERO leadership.
I couldn't care less about loyalty! Brian Cashman has been the general manager since 1998 and has progressively become worse over the years. It's obvious to all of us the the game has passed him by, and he cannot help the Yankees win. He's not capable. It's time to find someone who can.
Only person on Cashman's side is Hal and that is foolish. He needs to step back and think as a businessman and start rebuilding. Then he needs to look at his recent body of work and ask, "is this the guy that can rebuild my team into a World Series champion?" Facts don't lie....and the facts say NO.
NO is the ONLY correct answer here. It's time for Cashman to take a long walk off of a short pier. Nobody likes you anymore, Cashman....
