HAL STEINBRENNER JUST GASLIGHTS US WITH "CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM" BANTER


Hal says it every year.  I wish he'd instead call out his General Manager and front office for not doing enough for this Yankee team.  Back in 2022, March in fact... he said this about the New York Yankees.

"This is a championship caliber team".  I'm not sure it was, because we didn't even make it to the World Series.  Last year he was confused why the Yankee fan base was frustrated after the Yankees went out and literally added only one "major" piece in the off-season... Carlos Rodon.  You remember how that went in 2023.  This time around Hal was interviewed again... and this time he had something to say. Was it new? Not really....

Yahoo Sports:

“I think we have a championship-caliber team right now,” he said. Like WTF.  

Remember last year when we sign Carlos Rodon and he told us all that the Yankees "weren't done"?  This year? Look what he said:

"... we haven't stopped looking to improve. And we never will.”  It's madness. Does he not realize that we are full invested as fans in this team? Does he not realize that we spend thousands of dollars to go to this team's games? Hal Steinbrenner's net worth is $1.3 BILLION. We contribute to that. He's just out of touch.  He needs to be angrier. He needs to hold his front office and Cashman accountable.

Here's the bottom line, despite some improvements this offseason, we still need a solid starting pitcher.  That's it.  Until we have that, the Yankees are a third-place team.  That's just the way it is.  And so, pardon me if you think I am grouchy and annoyed and slamming the New York Yankees.  I get pretty annoyed when people lie, and this is no different.  Hal is either delusional or just doesn't think we're smart enough to know his soundbite history.  

Pathetic.
