Michael Kay on What Changes the Yankees Need to Make in Offseason | TMKS 9/28/23

[@fernandoposada5440]

Unless cashman getting fired is one of those changes . Its all an illusion . It means nothing

[@jayclarke5466]

Ur s is the truest statement here… If they don’t make that move…then u know…team s doomed cause of Hal…period

[@rjcpa626]

Agreed. Period.

[@f.m.4138]

Yep. No doubt.

[@johncitrangolo5519]

I agree the previous comments if Cashman isn't fired then very little will change.

[@Rocky2418]

Sadly, I fully expect Don's potential prediction to come true: They look at the "resurgence" in September, look at what the record probably would've been with a healthy Judge and Rizzo all year, and change very very little. Any real change, I'll believe when I see it.

[@Platerpus7]

Yeah with a healthy judge and rizzo they would have made the playoffs. But they would have lost in the first or second round again.

[@WarrenFranceSportsNetwork]

This is the 3rd year in a row the Yankees will blame injuries for losing. Insane

[@Shatterhorn]

Needing "auditors" to fix your team is hilariously embarrassing

[@jimboscooter432]

They really ruined volpe by trying to turn him into Aaron Judge

[@anthonywatson6070]

Rays fan here, so ignore me all you want if you wish, but as someone who gets so freaking frustrated and flat our angry at Kevin Cash so much with his bone headed analytics at times, I do give him and the FO and the coaching staff credit for keeping this team afloat with even more injuries than the Yanks! Have you seen our rotation? It's on Cashman for not ensuring that Boone and Blake have enough depth both in the minors and through savvy pickups (i.e. Zach Littell for us) to keep the Yanks rotation afloat.

[@stevenweiss2575]

the rays are perennially among the very best analytical teams in mlb. What they manage to do with a fraction of the Yankee payroll, never ceases to amaze me. And, they always seem to be ahead of the curve, trying out things for the first time that then become standard practice. Coming from a life-long Yankee fan.

[@cejannuzi]

Hey, the last time I looked, Rays were one of only 4 teams above .600 (I haven't looked at the standings for a while). And their payroll is a small fraction of the NYY's. They sure are doing a lot of things right.

[@SteaksauceandRob]

Rays fans are the smartest fans in baseball because there’s like 12 of you. Every Rays fan I’ve ever met is logical and actually knows the game. I’ll listen to any Rays fan over 95 percent of Yankee fans.

[@wecandobetter9821]

Before you sign or trade anyone fire Boone and Cashman. This coming from a Os fan

[@guerro327]

Michael is right, even though we all knew it before he said it, all the injuries every year are suspicious and need investigation. Also, things like Hicks hitting .284 in Baltimore after barely making .188 in NY? Why do things like this keep happening? What is it about NY that players can't hang anymore? And, I don't think the farm system is all that robust either. But what do I know. Yankee fan living in exile in the desert lol

[@RaulPerez-dq5cf]

I think the pressure of new York fans gets to some players which, also the pressure of coming to the yankees. Being a yankee comes with so many standards and expectations. But at the same time David wells said it best. This generation of baseball players are soft and entitled 🙄

[@HurtTurtlesTreehouse]

Think about it: the very act of hiring auditors is a declaration that the current staff of the New York Yankees doesn't know what's wrong or how to fix it. So why would you not recognize that as a problem -- and why would you retain those employees, especially those at the top like Cashman?

[@HurtTurtlesTreehouse]

"There aren't that many options, Don." What??? How about Theo Epstein, Brian Sabean, Jeff Luhnow (whom the Astros threw under the bus)? Don is absolutely right. Cashman and Boone both should be replaced: Cashman because of his awful money-wasting trades and long-term contracts (Michael, Don and Peter forgot about Hicks, it seems); and Boone because of the lack of fundamentals on the field and on the basepaths. And Eric Cressey's training regimen is manifestly a failure. Axe him, too.

[@rudivanrooijen7611]

Hey Michael, the Phillies, who are still in the thick of things, have had a guy hitting below .200 in the leadoff spot for the whole season. So in and on itself, the low average isn't necessarily the major issue. Maybe you did not notice, but the game of baseball has changed over the last 2 decades; a low BA with many strike outs is acceptable nowadays if OBP and power can compensate. The fact Stanton is hitting below .200 is surely not something you look for, but the bigger problem with Stanton is he can't stay healthy nor run, nor play decent outfield. So if he does play he clogs the DH spot on aged team that needs the DH spot to give some rest to other players as well. There is a good chance, in a couple of years, Judge will develop into the same kind of liability.....

[@ralphe5184]

Yes...the injuries! Professional baseball players should not be getting injured so often. Stanton injures himself every year. Lifetime athletes should be on top of their bodies. Stretched out and ready to run, swing, and throw. It's not football!

the team needs to do the following 1. Keep King in the rotation 2. Sign a lead off hitter 3. Move Stanton down in the batting order . I'm thinking 7th 4. Sign or trade for a legitimate # 4 hitter 5. Moves Holmes down to set up relief and sign a legitimate closer 6. Sign the ace pitcher from Japan

[@moses7101]

[@dpdip]

The Yankees need to pursue Bellinger or Soto. In my opinion, they should really go after Soto as hard as they can. Soto is a guy with a good attitude and a good approach at the plate, along with being a lefty bat with pop who plays a corner-outfield spot that we need. He's consistent as well whereas Bellinger, who's very talented as well, has been up and down with the bat over the last few years.

[@Malcolm.Y]

Chasing the big names has worked out so well the last 20 years, they just keep doing it.

[@dpdip]

@@Malcolm.Y Soto is completely different player than the big names we've signed recently. Let's also ignore the fact that our last championship was 2009, a year we signed 3 of the top 4 free agents available that prior offseason. Juan Soto is 24 years old, he's healthy, he's a lefty bat and he plays the position we are in dire need of filling. He's not an injured Rodon and he's not a mid-30's LeMahieu. Soto is a big name we actually should go after.

[@pamm99]

Fairly early on in the season, maybe early May, when we were doing well in the standings, I looked at their batting averages and just about everybody’s average was in the low 200s. I said to myself, “wow, how are we in second place?” (I think that’s where we were) I knew then we weren’t gonna stay there. We didn’t belong there!

[@brianlambTN]

[@SonnyCorleone-tg1ik]

I do like the idea of having Blake Snell on the yankees maybe in 2024 if they can get him. Snell is a bulldog and I think he can pitch well in the American league east! Also, he is a good left-handed pitcher. Always good having good lefty starters! In 2009 the yankees had CC Sabathia and Andy pettitte.

[@coachloubrown-22]

The YANKEES need to address the offense side. The pitchers pitched well enough to win. We need contact hitters. Torres should be resigned. The kids are knocking the ball around the park. I like Jesse Winker and Kevin Kiermair both are LH. Peraza and resign IKF to platoon at 3RD base. Sign the Japanese pitcher that Cashman scouted

[@christianjc8973]

The Yankees are so predictable. They beat Toronto twice so of course they are going to lose tonight. It’s like this team feels bad so they don’t wanna sweep anyone. It’s been like this for years now. Very aggravating to watch.

[@mikemurphy8996]

Problem for the Yankees is nobody is coming. Not many “game changers” when it comes to free agents. I’m from Toronto and I can tell you that if you want to give Matt Chapman 100 million I’ll drive him to the airport and you can have him. I don’t think Ohtani is gonna go to the east coast, and not sure Cody Bellinger is gonna make a huge difference. Rizzo is older, Stanton older, Cole is great but he’s wasting a lot of bullets, Torres is ok but not the player we all thought he would be. As a Jays fan I love this. Red Sox and Yankees are bottom feeders in the East and it will probably be that way for at least another year or two.

It’s fun just watching the kids have speed, stealing bags, 1st to 3rd easily scoring from 2nd on hits alone. The athleticism and energy is so refreshing to watch even if they are struggling right now

[@nazlevy7376]

I think Boone should stay with all the relationships he’s built and Judge says he wants him next year. And to be fair if you are Boone you have nothing to work with. Almost everyone on our team offense wise are having career bad years. Look at the deadline too, reinforcements were expected and never did. The blame should be mostly on Cashman

[@adamcreeey]

We’re not gonna do anything in the offseason

[@HurtTurtlesTreehouse]

Rodon, for whom Cashman paid $162M over six years, just stank it up against one of the weakest scoring teams in baseball, the Royals, yielding 8 ER and getting not a single out in the first inning before he was pulled by Boone. You know which team is right below the Royals in runs? Yup, Cashman's Yankees. And Hal needs an auditor to figure out if he should fire Cashman.

Can a robot tell you how to acquire players who will gel with others to create great team chemistry.

[@user-by9jb2kj3c]

Michael, Keirmaier is not the answer. The Yankees need left handed hitters, that can get on base ie Bellinger, Soto or somebody with a strong bat and a starting pitcher ie Yamamoto or at least Montgomery. The Yankees have prospects they can trade. Perhaps, if they had a strong # 4 hitter then Stanton could bat lower might help, if he can’t/won’t get traded(to free up money). Also, this maybe out there but if I were Hal, And couldn’t/wouldn’t Fire Cashman: 1.

I’m sorry but Hal has to take his share of blame here. The question we’re probably never getting an answer to is how many players Cashman might have been after and Hal said no , to much money. Also blaming the injuries on Medical is maybe part of the problem but it’s the players to. Judge was told by his off season coach to layoff the weights and why he went into a yoga program. The body can only take so much and then the injury bug hits. This organization will never learn in this case the GM and manager need to go or they could do good cop bad cop and go with Boone but get a bench coach that’s the bad cop and allowed to question Boones on field decisions that many times is stupid.

[@shilohday3831]

Hey Michael, who made out the lineup with more than 80 games where the cleanup hitter bats under the Mendoza line. Is that Boone? Who tried to sell us on a rebound year for Donaldson? Is that Boone? Well he's a really nice guy. Not his fault. Cashman of course get's a pass as the "svengali" of the organization. Not his fault people get hurt, not his responsibility that the analytics people gave him bad advice, and all the bad trades which are too many to list here aren't his fault. So, they make some superficial changes, blame injuries like they do every year and tell us they are prepared to compete next year. Get rid of those who should be held accountable and let's move on.

There is no way any competent and independent "analytics" told Hal to pay Judge 9 x $40 Mil and Rodon 5 X $32 Mil, because you can buy that much run differential cheapter than that. For the same money, you could have the entire Tampa Bay roseter What answer do any of you have to the question:. Last 2 years, Tampa spent about $800K per win, while the Yankees spent $2.2 Mil and $3,5 Mil per win, Why doesn't that prove that "analytics" works, that "Moneyball" works?

So with all your Yankee experience and knowledge Michael, you don't say a word about Cashman being the problem? You choose the obvious and say Stanton is a problem? Wow.

[@rk9wolverine810]

Stanton is a problem...on the field.

[@WarrenFranceSportsNetwork]

@@rk9wolverine810who chose Stanton when the team couldn’t get a base hit in 2017 playoffs. Stanton was never the choice. I love him but it was stupid move.

[@bobtrambley6210]

Volpe has to hit at least .260

[@rino110950]

u watched this clown show all season & your comment is on Volpe ... wow... mind as well blame IKF & Cole too

[@adrianrivera8366]

Fire cashman he making wrong deals and Yankees need more pitchers and also they need young players in the roster

[@jetercollector2134]

Trade the house for Juan Soto. He’s 24 with a career WAR close to 30 already and he gets on base better than anyone the last three years.

[@rudivanrooijen7611]

Soto is a great offensive player, but he ruins team chemistry and is a mediocre outfielder.

[@jetercollector2134]

@@rudivanrooijen7611 Well, they currently have no chemistry to begin with and we’re bottom 5 in the league in OBP… Soto will get you .400 every year.
