THE YANKEES ARE CLEANING HOUSE. TOO BAD THEY'RE STARTING IN THE WRONG ROOMS.

So now the Yankees want accountability? Now they want to clean up the front office? Now, after another embarrassing October exit, they're suddenly interested in fixing what's broken?

Give me a break.

The Yankees are reportedly moving on from Omar Minaya and Brian Sabean, two respected baseball executives who served as advisers to Brian Cashman. Good. Fine. Make changes. Shake things up. But here's the question every frustrated Yankee fan should be asking:

WHAT ABOUT BRIAN CASHMAN AND AARON BOONE?

How does an organization go nearly two decades without a World Series championship, repeatedly collapse when it matters most, and somehow conclude that the people surrounding the decision-makers are the problem, but the decision-makers themselves aren't?

It's insulting.

Cashman has been running this organization since 1998. Boone has been managing since 2018. The Yankees haven't won a championship since 2009. Yet Cashman gets another contract, Boone gets another season, and everyone else apparently gets evaluated for failure.

That's not accountability. That's protecting the establishment.

And let's not pretend Brian Sabean is some clueless baseball executive. The man helped build three World Series champions in San Francisco. Suddenly he's expendable while the architect of nearly two decades of championship futility remains untouchable?

The Yankees have become masters at rearranging the furniture while refusing to acknowledge that the house is falling apart.

Hal Steinbrenner continues to reward the same leadership, defend the same philosophy and expect different results. Cashman keeps his authority. Boone keeps his dugout. And Yankee fans keep getting fed the same tired promises about next year.

Enough already.

Nobody is suggesting every employee in that front office deserves to stay. They should all be fired. But when the people at the very top are never held responsible, these changes become nothing more than window dressing.

You cannot fix a culture of failure while protecting the people responsible for leading it.

The Yankees don't need another organizational reshuffling. They need a complete change in direction, beginning with the men who have been steering this ship into the same October iceberg year after year.

Until Cashman and Boone face the same accountability as everyone beneath them, this isn't a rebuild of the front office.

It's a cover-up of incompetence disguised as progress.

And Yankee fans deserve a hell of a lot better.
