THE BEST CALL OF THE YEAR DESTROYS BRIAN CASHMAN!

Look, I love my Yankees and I really think Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone are doing a terrible job with this Yankee team, but for the life of me, I'm certainly not gonna call into a radio show and I have way too much going on in my life to care that much about this team. I said it many times here and I'll say it again; the Front office doesn't know how to run this team and there needs to be a serious change of personnel up there. You don't go firing a guy like bullpen coach Mike Harkey and say "OK, we're fixing things." Mike Harkey sitting in the pen waiting for Boone to call is not the problem. 

And here's the worst part, we know who the problem is, and the front office and analytics department know it's them as well, but they are also in charge and as long as Hal Steinbrenner is not in the red and all you Yankee fans keep spending money on season tickets and merch and their stupid food, nothing will change.  I said after the season, you gotta boycott this team. Not for the players, we love the players. No... it's the front office... it's Cashman, it's Boone. It's them. Get rid of them, make an effort actually win, and then I'll come back. until then, nope.  By the way, read ENOUGH! LET'S BOYCOTT THE YANKEES TO CHANGE THIS TEAM'S FUTURE if you want more on that. I ain't wrong, Unc.

But back to this amazing fan. John from Maspeth. Great for radio, slightly embarrassing and yes, he hit on all the right points. When Trent Grisham happily pocketed the Yankees’ one-year, $22 million qualifying offer on Tuesday, a reward for the season where he suddenly morphed into a 34-homer wrecking ball. Sure, it’s a steep price tag, but the short-term deal... but still, money that should be spend elsewhere. 

But here comes John from Maspeth. The man heard the news about Grisham and immediately transformed into a human air-raid siren. He called up WFAN’s Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to express his thoughts — or, more accurately, to unleash them — and let’s just say he didn’t hold back on his favorite punching bag, Brian Cashman. Listen to this:

John from Maspeth is right.  Look, the Yankees players for the most part are a decent team. Plus, if you kick Volpe and Wells to the curb, they are no question better.  But guys like Grisham? Not really needed.  Had a great season, his time is up in my opinion.  We need Bellinger... we need a solid starting pitcher.  The days of Will Warren are over. Nice kid, we need more certainty. I mean, let's get serious. Let's try and win a championship... not duct tape a roster together.  And so, I ask this question, just like John from Maspeth is asking every day, "What the hell is Brian Cashman doing?"
