When I hear Michael Kay all I hear is: “Whomp whomp whomp whomp.” Blame the guy who is responsible for putting this horrid roster together Blame the guy who gave 25 million dollars to 37 year old who is hitting well below 200. This team stinks!!!! From the manager to the front office unacceptable .
Cashman has built an awful team it’s not even an exaggeration anymore. He’s shown he’s not capable of building a consistent quality roster anymore. We’ve lucky to have Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole who are the only elite players performing on the team.
It took time. The smoke and mirrors just won't work any longer. I despise him. Hal it Public Enemy #1. Stop spending $$$$$ on this sham. I am going to look back at the roster and numbers of that 1968 Yankee team. Let's compare. 1968. Got that I graduated from HS in 1968 😵😵😵😵💋💋
Hal Steinbrenner isn’t going to answer to anything. Honestly I’ll be surprised if he actually comes on the show. If he does, he’s going blame the players and spew the same nonsense about it all being a crapshoot. He’ll take no responsibility whatsoever, and he’ll mindlessly defend Cashman and Boone. This is what the Yankees are now, and nothing is going to change in the foreseeable future.
ima be honest, as a lifelong Yankee from from NJ, I've kind of fallen away and started watching and following hockey more since the Yankees have started to forget how to play baseball. The Yankees above all else are not supposed to and have no excuse to be this bad and get paid that much.
Once dj turned down the first offer i wanted him gone . I knew he was not gonna age well . Infielders rarely age well . I wanted that money spent on pitching
Correction: Donaldson was already washed up before he came here. The only team who would sign him is the old "let's sign a player past his prime" NY yankees!!
@@jamesryan4618 agreed, but anybody who knows baseball could see that this was a poorly constructed roster especially for 290 million. But it doesn’t matter bc cash won’t get fired so we’ll just run back the same formula next year that doesn’t work.
Kay won’t even ask Hal why cashman and Boone deserves to stay when he interviews him. Mike Francesca said Kay had no integrity and is a company boy and Kay got extremely angry but franseca was right. If Boone and cashman won’t be fired then nothing will change.
I never knew that mike francesa had said something like that. That's probably why mike francesa is no more welcome at the stadium. I believe he had said it in one of his shows. He's not as close to the front office or the players as he used to be. Because mike isn't going to suck a** or dic*** like michael k the yes man network poster boy. Mike is going to call things out for what they are. It seems like everybody is allergic to the truth nowadays. I've said it before on many other nyy content creators, everything woke goes to s***. When this organization decided that it was gonna price out the blue collar worker from being able to Is afford box seats. That was it. This front office and this ownership used taxpayer dollars for that stadium. And then turned around and fucked the fans. You gotta be a hollywood star or have a trust fund and what if we just sit on the field seats. I would love to see the stadium empty. That's the only way you're going to get real change. But you can't tell generational yankee fans how to carry on with their fandom. That's what makes this country beautiful you do as you please.
Kay will never admit that the problems come from the top. No, firing Cashman and Boone won't turn them into a 100 win team this year, but the team was put together and led by Cashman and Boone.
Kay clearly knows that all problems stem from the Cashman ethos but he just won’t put it all together and say it. He hates the analytics-obsessed philosophy that Cashman creates and that Boone Carrie’s out; he hate the roster construction, he hates the dumb trades… this is all Cashman’s area. I’m sure that when Hal is on they will commiserate about bad luck and injuries.
Then again the Yankees extended Boone despite his horrible ability to manage both the team & the players. He's freakin awful. The worst we've ever had as far as I can remember since becoming a fan in 77. For that I would've just kept Girardi
Speaks of a front office buying names to provide baseball entertainment, but not to win. It's been this approach for years. Stanton is a good example of big money for homers, knowing full well they'll never win a championship with him.
Volpe should have never been called up to begin this season. That move was done to appease the fans. We have two washed up hacks playing third base. Torres is a turtle, and we have two mediocre catchers. Our outfield is made up of guys who shouldn’t be in the majors
What are you talking about? Volpe outperformed all other candidates for the Shortstop job in Spring Training. He may need to go down to AAA to work out some things. But in Spring Training he won the job fair and square.
@@AJolls Peraza should be on this club, no question. He is just a slow starter so that opened up the job for Volpe to take. But Donaldson needs to go and Peraza does need to be on this club. But as I heard Michael just say, they love Donaldson. Which sucks for Peraza.
Spring training stats dont mean a damned thing . Higgy proved tgat 2 years ago . Volpe is there cause he is a feel good story plain and simple . Anyone else gets sent down by now
In analytics defense, no analytics team from any of the other 31 teams would suggest dumping over 100 million a season into the rotting corpses of DJLM, Donaldson, and Rizzo, to go along with another 40 in Stanton and IKF. Complete insanity how the Yanks thought that was a excellent idea.
Ikf isnt the problem per se . And stanton and donaldson were brought in because of their power . Which analytics loves . Dj was brought back because he had one great year or so . I didnt want him back
"The Red Sox are not a great team". Agree. But they're only 2 games behind the Yankees with $120 Million less payroll. Rays are 10 1/2 games ahead of Yankees with $230 Million less payroll. It's a contest between the Mets and the Yankees for the worst franchise in baseball!
It's sad. Lack of team talent has never been the question in my mind, it's poor management and clubhouse morale. Players want to play well, but they don't want to win. Same for Boone.
You are thinking in the wrong direction. When we know why management puts Aaron Judge batting 2nd in the lineup, we will have some insight into why the Yankees have had these problems for the last several years. The way the Yankees are organized to play baseball has hand a negative impact on the players behavior on the field! These are structural issues that will time and pain to deal with; management does not have the will to change.
The Red Sox aren't a bad team. In fact they are playing better than we all thought they would. They are in last place yes, but it's not like they are 10 games back in last place. Only 2 1/2 games back from the Yankees. They are basically breathing down our necks. Honestly they are probably the best last place team in the AL.
@@dom12011 That's exactly what I was about to say. I went to one Pawtucket game in 2017 and saw this kid hitting like no one else and thought, "Wow, who's he?" -- well, now we know who Devers is. Too bad Boston let Mookie and Xander walk or they'd had 3 perennial all-stars in the lineup, but as it is the Red Sox position players are looking much better than NY. I only follow Boston when they play NY, so I can say as much about the pitching but they are not that far behind. NY's only consistent strengths are Cole and the bullpen.
1. George Steinbrenner would be livid and heads would roll. He wanted to win. Hal is only interested in making money. As long as the fans fill the stadium, He will do nothing. Boone and Lawson should go. Maybe Cashman. Donaldson should be DFA'd or told to retire. He is worthless. This team needs to be shaken up.
We should trade Kay!!!! He's terrible. I used to respect his point until he started kissing serious Yankees front office a$$! It's so pathetically obvious
I’ve been saying it for years, half a decade now. The problem is their hitting! The Yankees haven’t been eliminated in the playoffs because of their pitching since 2008. It’s always their offense
Everyday a different lineup different positions hitting in random spots in the lineup messes with these dudes!!!! Ball players are creatures of habit but on this team they never know day to day where tf their playing.. The whole philosophy we have is wrong!! God damn bat to ball make contact quit swinging for the damn fences!!! Time to blow it up. We’ve had this squad since 17 its time
Donaldson should have been taken out of the game on Sunday Night BASEBALL. He hit a ground ball wide of 1ST with a man on 3rd and 2 outs and he did not run hard enough to 1ST. He needed to be pulled in that spot plus the pick off at 1ST.
No inspiration, no heart and the manager is uninspiring. Time to get rid of Boone and they whole team wasn't hitting when Judge was healthy. Right now this team is nothing.....
That might be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read on social media and that's saying a lot. They took on 300 million dollars worth of salary as a favor to Jeter. Fuck you can't be that stupid
Why not fire the manager The manager is the captain of the ship The captain must know whats going on That is what George Steinbrenner said in a interview
How the hell do people call Michael Kay a corporate schill? He literally tells it like it is and I often find myself agreeing with 95% of the things he says.
The fact that there aren’t more people, players or front office personnel, literally fired and given their walking papers hardly ever is just mind boggling to me. The amount of money they get paid, they should be treated as any employee everywhere gets treated….if you don’t produce, then you lose your place in that organization. Period. If it comes down to having to still pay parts of guaranteed salary, per their contract, then going forward, rework the specifics and fine print spelling out certain clauses that would kick in, automatically, when certain thresholds are met. You stop producing, we have the right and absolute option to release you where they would be given X, y, & z as part of a possible severance arrangement or something similar. That these players, especially, with the kind of money they earn, aren’t tossed on their asses more often is astounding. It would certainly set the tone
DF’A Aaron Hicks, and Judge being out of the lineup shows that the problem is the team. One guy isn’t making you bad, just like one guy can’t make you good.
I feel sorry for Michael Kay. He eats his own BS every day, every year. Is there an unbiased New York sports media that isn't delusional about the Yankees' prospects at the beginning of the year.
I think Michael Kay's glory days are over, I remember listening to his reason when I was young from 2000-2009 and it seems like he's grasping for attention more so than covering logical unbiased baseball (I mean he's literally owned by YES so I don't expect him to be hyper critical) but I agree. This offseason it'll be "well It's a different ball club" and "Let's let the record do the talking" or "last year we didn't have rodon and judge the whole season, lets give them a chance".
Big G is a specimen of a human being. Why can't he be a big boy and play the field without getting hurt? The guy is chisled. Yet he farts and pulls a glute! It makes no sense.
Why is Tierney the only one in sports media who recognizes Cashman is the reason this team has one title in the last 20 years? He’s the constant it’s his show, drafting, scouting, player acquisitions and development etc. that’s all on Cashman. There’s no help coming on the farm, the players on the big league roster arent going to magically learn how to hit again and the payroll is sky high so there’s not even room to absorb other team’s high contracts in trades to plug holes. The team is a mess and that’s on Brian Cashman, he built this and his reckoning has been a long time coming…. yet somehow he got a four year extension. Unreal.
Cashman is not the sole reason. It comes from the owner. Every single move. From who is sent up and down, to the lineup. He micromanages the team and no one knows it.
Ive heard this defense of Cashman for a decade now. Even if that were true there is nothing on Cashman’s resume that would lead me to believe if he was left unfettered the results would be any better. Hal cuts the checks (or doesn’t) Cashman and his analytics nerds run the day to day operations. For at least the last ten years this has been the case. You could sell me on George meddling heavily with Brian’s plans before his health started to decline, but not so much Hal. Furthermore and this is my biggest criticism it’s not Hal’s fault the drafting, scouting and player development have been a disaster for years and years now. What “stars” have the yankees produced internally in the last decade aside from Judge? …Severino? Who’s always hurt or melting down in a big spot? Some middle relievers? Where are the hitters? How many problems alone could be solved with this team if with the Yankees tremendous bankroll they actually found cost controlled players internally to promote and use as high end trade chips? How many of Cashman’s bonehead trades could be avoided if the team had a pipeline of talent they could rely on from within to fill positions on the team? If they werent desparately trying to throw money at problems every free agency? With the money the Yankees make year to year that scouting, drafting and player development is even an issue is mind boggling. Rays dont have problems with their farm, Dodgers don’t, this ineptitude is 100% on Cashman. All the other problems on this team from the idiotic free agent signings to the questionable trades is down stream of this issue.
Michael Kay without a shadow doubt no excuse Stanton,Rizzo,LaMehieu and Donaldson not hitting it’s unacceptable!I put Rizzo on the injured list now call up Andres Chaparro
You talk about one though four in batting order not hitting, five though nine is invisible, just about automatic outs, real hard to watch. There’s no way this team can win a championship, they need change and soon. How about the guy who put this together
One player should NEVER be that important to the point that they can’t compete without him. If that’s the case what does that say about the rest of the team?? If this continues the Yankees will be In last place. How the mighty have fallen.
If you want to fire Boone and cashman that’s fine, but to make changes, there needs to be a complete rebuild. Try to trade what you can, but expect years like 90, 91 and 92. Can the Yankee fans deal with terrible teams. I mean last place like 90 loss teams.
Yankee fans who are old enough to remember how bad it was in the 80s and early 90s can probably go through another stretch like that. A few years of the Yankees possibly not even making the playoffs. However, younger Yankee fans aren't used to that. They've never really seen the Yankees miss out on the playoffs so that's going to be interesting. I'm sure the younger Gen Z Yankee fans would lose their minds. They grew up with the mindset that the Yankees are the best team in the history of the sport because they have the most rings.
That is why many have said how steinvalent really doesn't care. His fanboy who's on the yes man network. I said multiple times. This guy is a business man. All he wants his suckers to keep giving him his money. Letting exactly how he and this front office has treated the hard working paying fan. And then you have a** clowns like michael k. And the show that he's on with the other guy who looks like a condom. And his other friend who looks like a toad. Telling generational yankee fans that their phantom means nothing. He's lucky this isn't back on the days. He would have gotten sweet chin music.. I hate to put paula meal in the same basket but he is. Is him in michael k or a bunch of yes men working for the yes men network. Whenever I hear them and never feel like. I actually learned something about the game that I didn't know. It seems all scripted and platitudes.
Exactly! Not only did he acquire injury prone players over and over again. He wouldn’t even consider trading any minor leaguers for PROVEN major league talent. Now some (not all) of the young players have been exposed as inconsistent and now you can’t get a bag of balls for them in a trade!! Good job Hal/ Cashman!!
It is possible that Hicks couldn’t handle the pressure of playing in NY. For example, Gallo still not great but better than with the Yankees and sonny gray too.
VOLPE has to be sent down or Donaldson needs to get DFA'D to bring up Peraza. Catching position has no production. Outfield has 2nd tier players so Dominguez should be called up the Nationals did it with Juan Soto at a young age.
The Yankees are too protective of their players, no matter how poorly they perform. Maybe they should be publicly shamed by the organization. Instead, all you get is "we have to do better." Or, "we need to get going." Or "this is unacceptable." Yet, nothing changes. It's just the same old pablum. Somehow, someone has to light a fire under this team because whatever they're doing now just isn't working. And they need to stop calling themselves "a championship caliber team." They are anything but that.
Stanton deal was unfortunate. It’s hard to say no to a reigning mvp. But at the time, cooler heads pointed out that it wasn’t a good fit. The Yankees fo probably knew that too but figured if they’d get a WS out of it, it would be worth it. After it was obvious that they wouldn’t win the WS with this group, they should have bowed out and broke the team into a million pieces. They should have rebuilt after 2019.
There are many issues with this organization starting with: player scouting, player development, roster composition, team philosophies, team management, player accountability etc. there’s a reason why the Orioles, tampabay and Houston are way better at this point than the Yankees. This will never change the Yankees will continue to get older plus become less competitive
Thank you. I was starting to think that there were no real baseball fans out there. That could actually see what's going on. Mostly these new age fans just see what they're told what a** clowns. On the yes man network tell them. The biggest two a** clowns I hate to say it is michael kay and paul oneill. I mean I love him as a player but I didn't know he was awokey.
Bringing up Stanton “plays well in the playoffs but not well enough to make the World Series” is a wildly stupid statement to make when he just ranted about how missing judge shouldn’t cause the team to fall apart lmao Stanton is the only one hitting most postseasons and the rest of the team is asleep and not caring
On Days Off, Old Man Steinbrenner used to have them work fundamentals. The only way to get these guys to get hitting is extended practicing . So much, they hit on repetitive constructive hitting techniques rather than self-doubt and fear. Added pressure is different than added practice This has never happened in my recollection since 1972. Players should be hired on the assessment that they can perform under pressure. Rizzo was with the Cubs when they won the World Series and did quite well. Maybe getting them loose and working extra practice sessions working would help.
We should send Volpe down and call up peraza. He only played 22 games in the minors. Plus the minor aaa hitting coaches seem to be better. I. Swear every good hitting prospect hits great in aaa and turns to crap in the big leagues
So true. Kay won't address it, he'll only say it's not gonna happen instead of calling it out. The way this team is now is something that is years in the making. Let's keep getting injured guys and old guys and burn out the minors because we're desperate and we rush people up to the bigs. All desperation moves and analytics garbage.
@@MattMichaelVO 100% and there is no trade or signing that can fix this team and no reinforcements on the way. I will even go ahead and assume Dominguez is as overhyped as Volpe was. I had cut valve a few months ago and was forced to order the YES network separate. I just cancelled after realizing half the games are on Amazon, Apple, Peacock, and some other random streaming services. Not only do they stink but they are fucking their fans at every turn. I’m done
@@Grande79 All kinds of different streams. Money, money, money. Ironically, it's in the name; cash man. Just a kooky theory but it almost feels like they intentionally look for injured guys or guys that will get injured so they can blame the bad performance on injuries. And then when guys leave and play well for other teams - the excuse is; Oh they just couldn't handle the pinstripes. Not bad management, coaching and ridiculous analytics. And Hal will say, "It's the players that have to make a difference." without any responsibility on Cashman. The players have to be sick of it and it's showing. They keep putting those mantras out there and then brag about past players and the stadium just fills up every year.
They were a 3rd place team when Judge went out, but they had also cut the Tampa lead to 5 gms. Now they're 10.5 gms back... To tell the truth, I haven't watched them lately, it's too embarrassing.
The only reason Kay "doesn't know what is wrong" is because he doesn't want to bite the hand that feed him. The problems are numerous. The first is there is a massive brain drain in this organization and it comes from the top down. You have the Orioles noticing an issue with Hicks' swing and he goes from a sub 200 hitter to hitting over 300. You have Austin Wells noticing an issue with Volpe's swing while eating chicken parm. You have Cashman continuing to sign injury prone players to big contracts and then wondering why injury prone players are injured. Developing prospects into starters has been putrid, we can build good bullpens but can't get a starting pitching prospect to do anything but throw out of the pen. Then you have the performance of the players, how are you shocked by Stanton? He is always hurt and he hit .211 last year with a sub .300 obp. DJ has been falling off for 3 straight years now and he is about to be 35. Donaldson is about to be 38 and hasn't been anything to write home about for 2 or 3 years. Rizzo has to be dealing with an injury or something because he doesn't even look close to the Rizzo before the injury. The rest of the lineup are cast offs and are holes we knew existed and Cashman did nothing to fill them. Everyone knew the issues we had at 3B, SS, and LF. We let top notch free agents sign elsewhere so we could bring in the carcass of Josh Donaldson, try to develop a rookie in Volpe, and who the fuck knows what they are doing in left.
Let’s look at it for what it is they still can’t beat teams from the AL East their record against any team from the AL East is 11-15! They’ve beaten the Guardians, they’ve beaten the A’s, they’ve beaten the White Sox, they’ve beaten up on some decent teams I’ll admit, but when it comes to teams from the AL East, they can’t do it and it’s hard to explain why even though we’re almost coming up to the halfway point of the season! I don’t know for sure what changes need to be made that’s not up to me to decide because there is clearly a boatload of fixing to do, but I’ll say this much something has to change!
They literally refuse _refuse_ to put together a god damned streak. It's always win two lose one. - win one, lose one. This year they had had one five game streak and two four game streaks. After that it's been two of less every other game. It's infuriating. They can score 30 runs in three games then just ONE the following day? Are you kidding me?
Boone's lineups suck. No consistency. How many times do we have to see a hot hitter benched the following day for a scheduled day off? Stanton hitting in front of Torres and behind Bauer's? Totally f'ed up logic.
@@asmrdesigned Changing the lineup is infuriating. And when I brought it up last year, all the Yankee fans said "FIRST PLACE BRO. WE'RE IN FIRST PLACE." Yeah. Okay and what happens if the team slumps? Well. They did. They had a historic start and then went cold for weeks. I mean I can just imagine if Boone was managing the 2009 team, at some point Jeter would be batting 6th or Matsui batting lead off. It's ridiculous. Guys need a routine. They need to know where they're hitting and where they're playing. This weird idea that everyone on the Yankees should be a utility player is annoying. Pick a lineup and stick with it. For decades we _never_ did this in baseball and all these "analysts" are blinded by their arrogance because they finally "discovered" something something math something math. We have more information than ever before. We have more analytics. We have better information and nutrition than ever before. And yet with all that hot air, the New York Yankees didn't touch a World Series, let alone win, for an entire decade for the first time in a hundred something years AND have been plagued with more trips to the DL than you can fathom.
Hal won't fire Ca$hman because he considers him family. You can't fire the team. At least try and stop the bleeding by making the next obvious decision. Fire Aaron B🤡🤡n!
It really baffles me the current mindset of this organization to build a winning team. To be locking up all these players long-term on contracts that will just cripple this team going forward. It's giving me shades of the bad years of George's ownership in that early-2000's era where they just kept on signing aging All-Stars to buy their way to a ring, none of whom did anything. Then in the few years before his passing were able to build up a decent enough farm to compliment the big moves that led to the 2009 championship. Signing CC, Burnett and Teixeira helped sure but so did drafting and developing Robinson Cano, Phil Hughes, Joba and Brett Gardner and let's not forget acquiring Swish and still having the Core 4, Matsui and A-Rod. Now it seems they wanna shy away from the farm and keep trying to trade for other teams star players again, lock them up long-term while they empty their farm for these guys in the process. All the while the players they do keep in the farm, don't end up producing. The fact that Judge was the only one to make it from the previous class is very troubling. From what was supposed to be a new core of him, Sanchez, Andujar, Bird, Frazier, and all of those guys are gone. With all the resources this franchise has they can't get the proper player development personnel to put this team on the same level as teams like the Dodgers, Astros and Braves with all the players that came up through those respective teams systems and whatnot? Thats mind-boggling to me
Also the problem is Cashman holds on to these players to long in the minors saying we can't trade them but yet won't bring them up to give them a chance. Most of the time they just burn out in the minors. Also Don is right Cashman refuses to admit when it was a mistake and he holds onto guys way to long instead of trying to move them.
This season is the chickens coming home to roost. The years of bad deals are haunting the Yankees. Thank you Brian Cashman
100%
Then what was last season?
It’s simple. Cashman thinks he’s smarter than every other G.M out there and the owners don’t give a shit about the fans ,only the money!!
When I hear Michael Kay all I hear is: “Whomp whomp whomp whomp.”
Blame the guy who is responsible for putting this horrid roster together
Blame the guy who gave 25 million dollars to 37 year old who is hitting well below 200. This team stinks!!!! From the manager to the front office unacceptable .
Interesting how the Texas Ranges went from 68-94 last year to 1st place this year with a real manager.
They also spent almost a billion dollars on new players but I get your point lol.
Quite true!
@randyjfan51 They're getting nothing from Degrom and they paid all that money they year before
They still spent on the right players .
Ok, but they haven’t won anything yet. It is a long season.
Cashman has built an awful team it’s not even an exaggeration anymore. He’s shown he’s not capable of building a consistent quality roster anymore. We’ve lucky to have Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole who are the only elite players performing on the team.
It took time. The smoke and mirrors just won't work any longer. I despise him. Hal it Public Enemy #1. Stop spending $$$$$ on this sham. I am going to look back at the roster and numbers of that 1968 Yankee team. Let's compare. 1968. Got that I graduated from HS in 1968 😵😵😵😵💋💋
If Michel Kay is calling them out, then something is finally happening.
Anyone else remember Kay saying how much the Yankees “needed Donaldson” and when anyone pushed back he called them stupid?
Donaldson's bat has slowed so much, he looks over matched.
Yeah he knows everything and the fans always stupid!
And Donaldson was in sharp decline before Cashman traded for him. NY wasn’t sandbagged.
@@JJDSports2012 They were! Because Cashman wanted to get rid of Gary Sanchez he let the twins get over on him. One bad move after another.
@@JJDSports2012 Of course he was, it was a dumb signing, especially at that money.
Josh Donaldson never started to hit since he's been a Yankee
0:52 “for josh Donaldson to stop hitting” Jesus Kay… he was never hitting to begin with
Kay will find any excuse to trash the fans. The people who pay good money for tickets and YES.

You Mean Mr. Country club boy. Hal is a sissy disgrace.
Great post sir
Time for Boycott to happen. Let’s get Hal where it hurts.
When will Michael Kay finally admit that it's time for Cashman to go?
The day after cashman is no longer working for the yankees
@@fernandoposada5440 damn that's funny. You hit the nail on the head.
I wasnt trying to be funny . Was just stating the truth . Kay is a corporate schill
Never

ima be honest, as a lifelong Yankee from from NJ, I've kind of fallen away and started watching and following hockey more since the Yankees have started to forget how to play baseball. The Yankees above all else are not supposed to and have no excuse to be this bad and get paid that much.
You can’t spend $300mil worse than Cashman has putting this roster together
"They're better than this." Sadly, I honestly don't think they are. This is a team has been terribly constructed, and it's showing.
I agree, too many mismatched parts, poor situational hitting.
Who the fuck is gonna have the balls to be pissed off in the locker room and say this is enough! We need to play better dam it!
DJ might need to think about hanging it up
He's owed too much money. No way he walks away from $40 million.
@oldgreg1184 I would add Donaldson to the list. And the "prospects" are not exactly getting it done either. And Volpe can't steal first base. :(
Everyone demanded DJ be brought back. All the fans said he needs to be signed because he is a bat on ball guy. Look how that worked.
Once dj turned down the first offer i wanted him gone . I knew he was not gonna age well . Infielders rarely age well . I wanted that money spent on pitching
I never cared for dj
Donaldson stopped hitting. He hasn't hit anything since coming to the Yankees
Its called age . Age kills the bat first
Correction: Donaldson was already washed up before he came here. The only team who would sign him is the old "let's sign a player past his prime" NY yankees!!
The Braves lost Ronald acuna & won the World Series. Judge or no judge you gotta go out there and perform.
Judge's absence personifies how many holes we have in our lineup.
@@jamesryan4618 agreed, but anybody who knows baseball could see that this was a poorly constructed roster especially for 290 million. But it doesn’t matter bc cash won’t get fired so we’ll just run back the same formula next year that doesn’t work.

When this organization decided that it was gonna price out the blue collar worker from being able to Is afford box seats. That was it. This front office and this ownership used taxpayer dollars for that stadium. And then turned around and fucked the fans. You gotta be a hollywood star or have a trust fund and what if we just sit on the field seats. I would love to see the stadium empty. That's the only way you're going to get real change. But you can't tell generational yankee fans how to carry on with their fandom. That's what makes this country beautiful you do as you please.
Kay will never admit that the problems come from the top. No, firing Cashman and Boone won't turn them into a 100 win team this year, but the team was put together and led by Cashman and Boone.
Actually i believe they would dp much better without cashman and boone
Kay clearly knows that all problems stem from the Cashman ethos but he just won’t put it all together and say it. He hates the analytics-obsessed philosophy that Cashman creates and that Boone Carrie’s out; he hate the roster construction, he hates the dumb trades… this is all Cashman’s area. I’m sure that when Hal is on they will commiserate about bad luck and injuries.
Then again the Yankees extended Boone despite his horrible ability to manage both the team & the players. He's freakin awful. The worst we've ever had as far as I can remember since becoming a fan in 77. For that I would've just kept Girardi
You got four players who is making 90+million, Tampa Bay’s entire payroll is 76 million.
They are In first place, let that sink in.
Speaks of a front office buying names to provide baseball entertainment, but not to win. It's been this approach for years. Stanton is a good example of big money for homers, knowing full well they'll never win a championship with him.
The Rays, overall, have much better hitters than us.
Rizzo and Stanton are a mess
Volpe should have never been called up to begin this season. That move was done to appease the fans. We have two washed up hacks playing third base. Torres is a turtle, and we have two mediocre catchers. Our outfield is made up of guys who shouldn’t be in the majors
What are you talking about? Volpe outperformed all other candidates for the Shortstop job in Spring Training. He may need to go down to AAA to work out some things. But in Spring Training he won the job fair and square.
@@Lord_Bibulous so pereza is good enough to start the alcs games but gets sent down to the minors to rot this season what a joke
@@AJolls Peraza should be on this club, no question. He is just a slow starter so that opened up the job for Volpe to take. But Donaldson needs to go and Peraza does need to be on this club. But as I heard Michael just say, they love Donaldson. Which sucks for Peraza.
Peraza better SS than V. Outfield is ridiculous. A 3base gold glove playing everywhere but 3b.
Spring training stats dont mean a damned thing . Higgy proved tgat 2 years ago . Volpe is there cause he is a feel good story plain and simple . Anyone else gets sent down by now
He is so chicken. I love Don. The Yankees are rotten from the top down
A fish rots from the head down.
The new york yankees are an example of how analytics are ruining the sport imo .
In analytics defense, no analytics team from any of the other 31 teams would suggest dumping over 100 million a season into the rotting corpses of DJLM, Donaldson, and Rizzo, to go along with another 40 in Stanton and IKF. Complete insanity how the Yanks thought that was a excellent idea.
Ikf isnt the problem per se . And stanton and donaldson were brought in because of their power . Which analytics loves . Dj was brought back because he had one great year or so . I didnt want him back
"The Red Sox are not a great team". Agree. But they're only 2 games behind the Yankees with $120 Million less payroll. Rays are 10 1/2 games ahead of Yankees with $230 Million less payroll. It's a contest between the Mets and the Yankees for the worst franchise in baseball!
What really pisses me off is the arrogance from the front office all these years failing to admit their failures.
100000000% accurate!!!
Just watching an Aaron Boone press conference after a loss tells you all you need to know about what's wrong with this team.
Boone would of been fired 2 years ago if George was still here
It's sad. Lack of team talent has never been the question in my mind, it's poor management and clubhouse morale. Players want to play well, but they don't want to win. Same for Boone.
I can’t bare to watch him after games. It makes me sick!!
You are thinking in the wrong direction. When we know why management puts Aaron Judge batting 2nd in the lineup, we will have some insight into why the Yankees have had these problems for the last several years. The way the Yankees are organized to play baseball has hand a negative impact on the players behavior on the field! These are structural issues that will time and pain to deal with; management does not have the will to change.
Been saying that for years . I hate how a clean up hitter hits in the 2 hole . Thats just plain stupid .
Look at how long they held on to Aaron Hicks. Do you think that they are going to let go of anyone? Not a chance.
The Red Sox aren't a bad team. In fact they are playing better than we all thought they would. They are in last place yes, but it's not like they are 10 games back in last place. Only 2 1/2 games back from the Yankees. They are basically breathing down our necks. Honestly they are probably the best last place team in the AL.
@@dom12011 That's exactly what I was about to say. I went to one Pawtucket game in 2017 and saw this kid hitting like no one else and thought, "Wow, who's he?" -- well, now we know who Devers is. Too bad Boston let Mookie and Xander walk or they'd had 3 perennial all-stars in the lineup, but as it is the Red Sox position players are looking much better than NY. I only follow Boston when they play NY, so I can say as much about the pitching but they are not that far behind. NY's only consistent strengths are Cole and the bullpen.
they are not a good team...
Sorry, Charlie.
1. George Steinbrenner would be livid and heads would roll. He wanted to win. Hal is only interested in making money. As long as the fans fill the stadium, He will do nothing. Boone and Lawson should go. Maybe Cashman. Donaldson should be DFA'd or told to retire. He is worthless. This team needs to be shaken up.
Kay treats the fans the way Mike Francesca does
Funny how you end up being a lot likemthe people you criticized
Cashman could continue building shit teams for a 100 years and Kay “couldn’t tell you what the problem is.”
We should trade Kay!!!! He's terrible. I used to respect his point until he started kissing serious Yankees front office a$$! It's so pathetically obvious
I disagree that the Yankees are better than this. Face it, this is who we are.
Thank you for stating the simple truth all these Yankee experts won’t admit!!!
i don't think the red sox are a bad team.... hey they are better than the yankees for sure
Do you know what's the team batting average is ? It's worst then KANSAS CITY, OAKLAND and others.
When you're playing with other teams rejects you ain't winning shit.
Yes sir.
I said in 2021 that I’d never attend another Yankee game as long as Cashman is in charge. Every fan who cares should do that
George would never put up with this shit, we would of probably won 3 championships since 2017 if he was running things still.
I’ve been saying it for years, half a decade now. The problem is their hitting! The Yankees haven’t been eliminated in the playoffs because of their pitching since 2008. It’s always their offense
Everyday a different lineup different positions hitting in random spots in the lineup messes with these dudes!!!! Ball players are creatures of habit but on this team they never know day to day where tf their playing.. The whole philosophy we have is wrong!! God damn bat to ball make contact quit swinging for the damn fences!!! Time to blow it up. We’ve had this squad since 17 its time
Donaldson should have been taken out of the game on Sunday Night BASEBALL. He hit a ground ball wide of 1ST with a man on 3rd and 2 outs and he did not run hard enough to 1ST. He needed to be pulled in that spot plus the pick off at 1ST.
MK you never speak up to Cashman or Steinbrenner. The fact is your'e afraid of losing your job. You won't even speak up to Boone.
Facts!
No inspiration, no heart and the manager is uninspiring. Time to get rid of Boone and they whole team wasn't hitting when Judge was healthy. Right now this team is nothing.....
Even you're expendable Michael Kay! You should be fired for giving Boone & Cashman passes day in & out! Maybe we should trade you Kay!!!
I think the Stanton trade was a favor to Jeter. I really think they didn’t want him.
That might be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read on social media and that's saying a lot. They took on 300 million dollars worth of salary as a favor to Jeter. Fuck you can't be that stupid
Stanton's reputation was much better before the trade.
Cashman needs to go, he was the one that put this mediocre team together he should be accountable for this. This team sucks.
Stop saying willie Calhoun is a hitter lol
He was one of the rejects we signed before the season.
All those trades are on Cashman...Fire him for those stupid moves.
Why not fire the manager
The manager is the captain of the ship
The captain must know whats going on
That is what George Steinbrenner said in a interview
Michael kay loves Cashmsn though right
It has too come from the top start with F Head Hal letting Assman too f up team
How the hell do people call Michael Kay a corporate schill? He literally tells it like it is and I often find myself agreeing with 95% of the things he says.
He kills the players but never the guy who picks them.
Kay falls short. Put yourself in his shoes though….he can’t attack Boone and Cashman as he’s the voice of the Yankees on TV.
He knows it’s management
Lmao Yankee Boy acting like he’s gonna hold his boss Hal Steinbrenner accountable on his show
That's what i'm talking about calling for what it is.
This is ridiculous! Why wouldn’t you want Boone fired ,take a long look at his decisions if you know baseball you know what I’m talking about.
The fact that there aren’t more people, players or front office personnel, literally fired and given their walking papers hardly ever is just mind boggling to me. The amount of money they get paid, they should be treated as any employee everywhere gets treated….if you don’t produce, then you lose your place in that organization. Period. If it comes down to having to still pay parts of guaranteed salary, per their contract, then going forward, rework the specifics and fine print spelling out certain clauses that would kick in, automatically, when certain thresholds are met. You stop producing, we have the right and absolute option to release you where they would be given X, y, & z as part of a possible severance arrangement or something similar. That these players, especially, with the kind of money they earn, aren’t tossed on their asses more often is astounding. It would certainly set the tone
amen
DF’A Aaron Hicks, and Judge being out of the lineup shows that the problem is the team. One guy isn’t making you bad, just like one guy can’t make you good.
Judge's injury is no excuse for Donaldson to start hitting.
HELLO. ALL START WITH AARON BOONE HE IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSON.
I feel sorry for Michael Kay. He eats his own BS every day, every year. Is there an unbiased New York sports media that isn't delusional about the Yankees' prospects at the beginning of the year.
I think Michael Kay's glory days are over, I remember listening to his reason when I was young from 2000-2009 and it seems like he's grasping for attention more so than covering logical unbiased baseball (I mean he's literally owned by YES so I don't expect him to be hyper critical) but I agree. This offseason it'll be "well It's a different ball club" and "Let's let the record do the talking" or "last year we didn't have rodon and judge the whole season, lets give them a chance".
Big G is a specimen of a human being. Why can't he be a big boy and play the field without getting hurt? The guy is chisled. Yet he farts and pulls a glute! It makes no sense.
Why is Tierney the only one in sports media who recognizes Cashman is the reason this team has one title in the last 20 years? He’s the constant it’s his show, drafting, scouting, player acquisitions and development etc. that’s all on Cashman. There’s no help coming on the farm, the players on the big league roster arent going to magically learn how to hit again and the payroll is sky high so there’s not even room to absorb other team’s high contracts in trades to plug holes. The team is a mess and that’s on Brian Cashman, he built this and his reckoning has been a long time coming…. yet somehow he got a four year extension. Unreal.
Cashman is not the sole reason. It comes from the owner. Every single move. From who is sent up and down, to the lineup. He micromanages the team and no one knows it.
Ive heard this defense of Cashman for a decade now. Even if that were true there is nothing on Cashman’s resume that would lead me to believe if he was left unfettered the results would be any better. Hal cuts the checks (or doesn’t) Cashman and his analytics nerds run the day to day operations. For at least the last ten years this has been the case. You could sell me on George meddling heavily with Brian’s plans before his health started to decline, but not so much Hal. Furthermore and this is my biggest criticism it’s not Hal’s fault the drafting, scouting and player development have been a disaster for years and years now. What “stars” have the yankees produced internally in the last decade aside from Judge? …Severino? Who’s always hurt or melting down in a big spot? Some middle relievers? Where are the hitters? How many problems alone could be solved with this team if with the Yankees tremendous bankroll they actually found cost controlled players internally to promote and use as high end trade chips? How many of Cashman’s bonehead trades could be avoided if the team had a pipeline of talent they could rely on from within to fill positions on the team? If they werent desparately trying to throw money at problems every free agency? With the money the Yankees make year to year that scouting, drafting and player development is even an issue is mind boggling. Rays dont have problems with their farm, Dodgers don’t, this ineptitude is 100% on Cashman. All the other problems on this team from the idiotic free agent signings to the questionable trades is down stream of this issue.
@@cjr1881Hal doesn't do anything baseball related. He really doesn't know baseball all that well to begin with.
Michael Kay without a shadow doubt no excuse Stanton,Rizzo,LaMehieu and Donaldson not hitting it’s unacceptable!I put Rizzo on the injured list now call up Andres Chaparro
You talk about one though four in batting order not hitting, five though nine is invisible, just about automatic outs, real hard to watch. There’s no way this team can win a championship, they need change and soon. How about the guy who put this together
One player should NEVER be that important to the point that they can’t compete without him. If that’s the case what does that say about the rest of the team?? If this continues the Yankees will be In last place. How the mighty have fallen.
Absolutely right!
Firing Cashman will not happen but it should. That's why you don't put friendships above business.
If Boston is a bad team what are we ?
If you want to fire Boone and cashman that’s fine, but to make changes, there needs to be a complete rebuild. Try to trade what you can, but expect years like 90, 91 and 92. Can the Yankee fans deal with terrible teams. I mean last place like 90 loss teams.
I would be fine with it if it mean cashman wasnt the one in charge of the rebuild
Yankee fans who are old enough to remember how bad it was in the 80s and early 90s can probably go through another stretch like that. A few years of the Yankees possibly not even making the playoffs. However, younger Yankee fans aren't used to that. They've never really seen the Yankees miss out on the playoffs so that's going to be interesting. I'm sure the younger Gen Z Yankee fans would lose their minds. They grew up with the mindset that the Yankees are the best team in the history of the sport because they have the most rings.
Imagine constructing a team this poorly with holes at virtually every position and being awarded a 4 year extension.
That is why many have said how steinvalent really doesn't care. His fanboy who's on the yes man network. I said multiple times. This guy is a business man. All he wants his suckers to keep giving him his money. Letting exactly how he and this front office has treated the hard working paying fan. And then you have a** clowns like michael k. And the show that he's on with the other guy who looks like a condom. And his other friend who looks like a toad. Telling generational yankee fans that their phantom means nothing. He's lucky this isn't back on the days. He would have gotten sweet chin music.. I hate to put paula meal in the same basket but he is. Is him in michael k or a bunch of yes men working for the yes men network. Whenever I hear them and never feel like. I actually learned something about the game that I didn't know. It seems all scripted and platitudes.
Exactly! Not only did he acquire injury prone players over and over again. He wouldn’t even consider trading any minor leaguers for PROVEN major league talent. Now some (not all) of the young players have been exposed as inconsistent and now you can’t get a bag of balls for them in a trade!! Good job Hal/ Cashman!!
We should trade these guys to Baltimore, let their coaches fix them, and then bring them back. LOL! Aaron Hicks is hitting .327.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is possible that Hicks couldn’t handle the pressure of playing in NY. For example, Gallo still not great but better than with the Yankees and sonny gray too.
Judge is the leader of the team. Aaron Boone is a joke.
I love listening to this show
Maybe Yankees players don't want to play for boone and I wouldn't play for him bc boones not a leader .
He is a real "Boone- Doggle" if there ever was one.
VOLPE has to be sent down or Donaldson needs to get DFA'D to bring up Peraza. Catching position has no production. Outfield has 2nd tier players so Dominguez should be called up the Nationals did it with Juan Soto at a young age.
Don’t worry fans. Nothing will change. We probably finish last !!
The Yankees are too protective of their players, no matter how poorly they perform. Maybe they should be publicly shamed by the organization. Instead, all you get is "we have to do better." Or, "we need to get going." Or "this is unacceptable." Yet, nothing changes. It's just the same old pablum. Somehow, someone has to light a fire under this team because whatever they're doing now just isn't working.
And they need to stop calling themselves "a championship caliber team." They are anything but that.
Might be time for Boone & Cashman to be shown the door, along with the medical staff?
Stanton deal was unfortunate. It’s hard to say no to a reigning mvp. But at the time, cooler heads pointed out that it wasn’t a good fit. The Yankees fo probably knew that too but figured if they’d get a WS out of it, it would be worth it. After it was obvious that they wouldn’t win the WS with this group, they should have bowed out and broke the team into a million pieces. They should have rebuilt after 2019.
There are many issues with this organization starting with: player scouting, player development, roster composition, team philosophies, team management, player accountability etc. there’s a reason why the Orioles, tampabay and Houston are way better at this point than the Yankees. This will never change the Yankees will continue to get older plus become less competitive
Thank you. I was starting to think that there were no real baseball fans out there. That could actually see what's going on. Mostly these new age fans just see what they're told what a** clowns. On the yes man network tell them. The biggest two a** clowns I hate to say it is michael kay and paul oneill. I mean I love him as a player but I didn't know he was awokey.
Bringing up Stanton “plays well in the playoffs but not well enough to make the World Series” is a wildly stupid statement to make when he just ranted about how missing judge shouldn’t cause the team to fall apart lmao Stanton is the only one hitting most postseasons and the rest of the team is asleep and not caring
On Days Off, Old Man Steinbrenner used to have them work fundamentals. The only way to get these guys to get hitting is extended practicing . So much, they hit on repetitive constructive hitting techniques rather than self-doubt and fear. Added pressure is different than added practice
This has never happened in my recollection since 1972. Players should be hired on the assessment that they can perform under pressure. Rizzo was with the Cubs when they won the World Series and did quite well. Maybe getting them loose and working extra practice sessions working would help.
No Michael kay the front office and the manager you’re always defending are the real embarrassment you included
George Steinbrenner would have never put up with it. The Yankees need like a coach like Billy Martin.
Lmao the Red Sox aren’t a typical last place team. They’re 37-35.
We should send Volpe down and call up peraza. He only played 22 games in the minors. Plus the minor aaa hitting coaches seem to be better. I. Swear every good hitting prospect hits great in aaa and turns to crap in the big leagues
STOP signing players who are over 30.
Amen
@@JoseGarcia-rv5zdthe redsox signed players over 30 and it’s Justin turner
Rant all you want you, the problem is Cashman and Cashman only
Fishman is the voice in Cashman's ear. The team builds around his analytics. They have both been there far, far too long. This team needs change.
So true. Kay won't address it, he'll only say it's not gonna happen instead of calling it out. The way this team is now is something that is years in the making. Let's keep getting injured guys and old guys and burn out the minors because we're desperate and we rush people up to the bigs. All desperation moves and analytics garbage.
@@MattMichaelVO 100% and there is no trade or signing that can fix this team and no reinforcements on the way. I will even go ahead and assume Dominguez is as overhyped as Volpe was. I had cut valve a few months ago and was forced to order the YES network separate. I just cancelled after realizing half the games are on Amazon, Apple, Peacock, and some other random streaming services. Not only do they stink but they are fucking their fans at every turn. I’m done
@@Grande79 All kinds of different streams. Money, money, money. Ironically, it's in the name; cash man. Just a kooky theory but it almost feels like they intentionally look for injured guys or guys that will get injured so they can blame the bad performance on injuries. And then when guys leave and play well for other teams - the excuse is; Oh they just couldn't handle the pinstripes. Not bad management, coaching and ridiculous analytics. And Hal will say, "It's the players that have to make a difference." without any responsibility on Cashman. The players have to be sick of it and it's showing. They keep putting those mantras out there and then brag about past players and the stadium just fills up every year.
Can Rodon hit?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In 13 career ABs, he has 3 hits including a double and 2 RBIs. I say put him in as DH between starts once he debuts on the mound. He'd fit right in.
They were a 3rd place team when Judge went out, but they had also cut the Tampa lead to 5 gms. Now they're 10.5 gms back... To tell the truth, I haven't watched them lately, it's too embarrassing.
The only reason Kay "doesn't know what is wrong" is because he doesn't want to bite the hand that feed him. The problems are numerous. The first is there is a massive brain drain in this organization and it comes from the top down. You have the Orioles noticing an issue with Hicks' swing and he goes from a sub 200 hitter to hitting over 300. You have Austin Wells noticing an issue with Volpe's swing while eating chicken parm. You have Cashman continuing to sign injury prone players to big contracts and then wondering why injury prone players are injured. Developing prospects into starters has been putrid, we can build good bullpens but can't get a starting pitching prospect to do anything but throw out of the pen.
Then you have the performance of the players, how are you shocked by Stanton? He is always hurt and he hit .211 last year with a sub .300 obp. DJ has been falling off for 3 straight years now and he is about to be 35. Donaldson is about to be 38 and hasn't been anything to write home about for 2 or 3 years. Rizzo has to be dealing with an injury or something because he doesn't even look close to the Rizzo before the injury. The rest of the lineup are cast offs and are holes we knew existed and Cashman did nothing to fill them. Everyone knew the issues we had at 3B, SS, and LF. We let top notch free agents sign elsewhere so we could bring in the carcass of Josh Donaldson, try to develop a rookie in Volpe, and who the fuck knows what they are doing in left.
Real yankee fan. real baseball fan. Facts Thank you finally a yankee fan not drinking the.
Let’s look at it for what it is they still can’t beat teams from the AL East their record against any team from the AL East is 11-15! They’ve beaten the Guardians, they’ve beaten the A’s, they’ve beaten the White Sox, they’ve beaten up on some decent teams I’ll admit, but when it comes to teams from the AL East, they can’t do it and it’s hard to explain why even though we’re almost coming up to the halfway point of the season! I don’t know for sure what changes need to be made that’s not up to me to decide because there is clearly a boatload of fixing to do, but I’ll say this much something has to change!
Its simple , the al east has gone past them and that started 4 years ago
Cool thumbnail.
I wonder if Jim Leland is available
Kay is a YES man. He won’t admit that Cashman is to blame for this terrible roster.
As long as Bryan Cashman and Aaron Boone are still there ,this team is not going nowhere,it will be the same story,year after year
Ok now keep some of this energy when Hal comes on.
They literally refuse _refuse_ to put together a god damned streak. It's always win two lose one. - win one, lose one. This year they had had one five game streak and two four game streaks. After that it's been two of less every other game. It's infuriating. They can score 30 runs in three games then just ONE the following day? Are you kidding me?
Boone's lineups suck. No consistency. How many times do we have to see a hot hitter benched the following day for a scheduled day off? Stanton hitting in front of Torres and behind Bauer's? Totally f'ed up logic.
@@asmrdesigned Changing the lineup is infuriating. And when I brought it up last year, all the Yankee fans said "FIRST PLACE BRO. WE'RE IN FIRST PLACE." Yeah. Okay and what happens if the team slumps? Well. They did. They had a historic start and then went cold for weeks.
I mean I can just imagine if Boone was managing the 2009 team, at some point Jeter would be batting 6th or Matsui batting lead off. It's ridiculous. Guys need a routine. They need to know where they're hitting and where they're playing.
This weird idea that everyone on the Yankees should be a utility player is annoying. Pick a lineup and stick with it. For decades we _never_ did this in baseball and all these "analysts" are blinded by their arrogance because they finally "discovered" something something math something math.
We have more information than ever before. We have more analytics. We have better information and nutrition than ever before. And yet with all that hot air, the New York Yankees didn't touch a World Series, let alone win, for an entire decade for the first time in a hundred something years AND have been plagued with more trips to the DL than you can fathom.
Hal won't fire Ca$hman because he considers him family. You can't fire the team. At least try and stop the bleeding by making the next obvious decision. Fire Aaron B🤡🤡n!
It really baffles me the current mindset of this organization to build a winning team. To be locking up all these players long-term on contracts that will just cripple this team going forward. It's giving me shades of the bad years of George's ownership in that early-2000's era where they just kept on signing aging All-Stars to buy their way to a ring, none of whom did anything. Then in the few years before his passing were able to build up a decent enough farm to compliment the big moves that led to the 2009 championship. Signing CC, Burnett and Teixeira helped sure but so did drafting and developing Robinson Cano, Phil Hughes, Joba and Brett Gardner and let's not forget acquiring Swish and still having the Core 4, Matsui and A-Rod.
Now it seems they wanna shy away from the farm and keep trying to trade for other teams star players again, lock them up long-term while they empty their farm for these guys in the process. All the while the players they do keep in the farm, don't end up producing. The fact that Judge was the only one to make it from the previous class is very troubling. From what was supposed to be a new core of him, Sanchez, Andujar, Bird, Frazier, and all of those guys are gone. With all the resources this franchise has they can't get the proper player development personnel to put this team on the same level as teams like the Dodgers, Astros and Braves with all the players that came up through those respective teams systems and whatnot? Thats mind-boggling to me
Also the problem is Cashman holds on to these players to long in the minors saying we can't trade them but yet won't bring them up to give them a chance. Most of the time they just burn out in the minors. Also Don is right Cashman refuses to admit when it was a mistake and he holds onto guys way to long instead of trying to move them.
