When the Yankees got rid of beltran and Mccan they went to Houston a got a ring right away. When they helped balance the lineup. Instead they went out and bought Stanton while having Judge and Gary Sanchez. They could've waited an year and went after Harper instead.

'Outside of our 18 strikeouts we played pretty well' Boone is Cashman's organ grinder's monkey

[@drygnfyre]

Reminds me of the Pirates GM who said "we ran 10,000 simulations and we were only bad twice!" Without recognizing that in reality, they were bad.

[@jon-umber]

Criticism of the Stanton trade is pure hindsight. Yankees grabbed a 27 year old reigning MVP coming off a 59-homerun season for ... Starlin Castro? You make that trade 100 times out of 100. The Donaldson trade, though, is indefensible. Everyone knew that was a terrible trade the moment it happened.

[@Jesus_P]

The problem starts with upper management, that hasn't changed since the 90's. Cashman was brougth in as a yes man for George Steinbrenner. If Hal doesn't care about running a team, then he needs to fire cash, bring in a GM that wants to win and fk off in one of his yatchs.

[@Rymann_23]

Spoiler, Hal won't do anything

[@jeffreytappis2893]

Absolutely right there is no way Hal is going to eat Stanton’s and Lemeihue contracts that’s almost $200 million dollars and then give Cashman the green light to spend more money

[@tim.noonan]

[@zacharyscott6779]

What i dont get is why they dont have ANY type of hitters that attack the short right field. They also have completely whiffed on some of their latest big money deals.

[@nosuitsgiven]

I’m so happy the Yankees are trash. Decades of the league kissing their ass has led to the current state of the game. It took the Astros tanking and showing a completely new strategy to change direction of the league.

[@HT-sh1yj]

The Rays starting rotation has been decimated and their best player is under investigation and not playing but the Rays are having another great season. The Rays FO knows how to put together a 40-man roster.

[@sjdnam4424]

2:09 IKF did not have an OPS over 0.800 for the ALCS. The only two Yankees with over an .800 OPS were Harrison Bader (1.271 OPS) and Anthony Rizzo (1.021 OPS). IKF was the next highest at a 0.714 OPS. No other Yankee was higher than 0.700.

[@peterharris6409]

Boone is the only reason this team played well for as long as they did. This is a front office and internal development of their minor leaguers and assets kinda problem. What is Boone supposed to do with a horrible roster? He can’t make Miracles happen

**resigning rizzo was crazy after last year** ❤

[@Raphmatic5000]

What some non-Yankees fans (and maybe even some Yankees fans) may not know or remember is that this actually started last year, well before the playoffs. The Yankees in the first half of 2022 were DOMINANT. I mean people were thinking of the 1998 Yankees dominant. The second half was absolutely horrendous, and they limped into the playoffs. They didn't address any major issues, those issues just came home to roost. Our GM has been so proud of finding gems in the trash heap that he made it his strategy. That was alway asinine, because you need a strong foundation of a team to be able to take those chances and still win. The foundation of the Yankees has been crumbling since 2021. The young core of Judge, Torres and Sanchez didn't work out the way they wanted it to, and they never addressed their lineup issues sufficiently. Also, it seems like while we have highly touted prospects, they never seem to pan out for us, and we hold them past their peak value (Florial)

[@arcturusnfshp]

Thank you for bringing up how this mess is the front office’s more than the on-field manager’s. Boone is by far not the best manager in the league but he can’t put a lineup together if the pieces aren’t there. Perhaps if they had a stronger personality in the dugout meeting with Cashman and everyone in the analytics department we could have someone tell them that the roster has good pieces on it but that doesn’t mean it’s a good team.

[@odogjones4184]

They gotta trade Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole to the Blue Jays for Alek Manoah, I feel that is a completely fair trade

[@itsmychannel]

If I hear one more person say they can’t win because of a bad contract I’m going to lose my mind. You are the Yankees… if you want to win, go all in. Don’t spend stupid money and blame that spending on you not making other moves. Spend money, and if it doesn’t work, spend more. Or accept a rebuild for a year or two. That’s the only options.

[@TurnerTT7]

I mean on paper they look like a pretty good team I think they have just been a little unlucky

[@GeeEm1313]

This makes me so happy!

[@pabblo101]

The most winningest organization died when George left this team in 2010, his son is a massive disapointment and we might never rekindle the glory days.

[@nacoran]

When the Red Sox had their famous 0-3 comeback in the playoffs vs. the Yankees the Yankees, for some reason, had a pitching staff dominated by right handers. The Yankees should, just like their hitting staff, stack their pitching with lefties, specifically to shut down left handers on opposing teams at Yankee Stadium. I also think that they focus too much on signing stars to long term contracts instead of building depth. That makes them too vulnerable to injuries. Almost by definition the way teams play with service time a superstar that becomes a free agent isn't going to be on the upswing part of their career. Maybe you get them for a couple years of their prime, but after that they are going to go into decline, and if you sign them long term you are going to eat that decline. I think maybe you need to structure the contracts with more team opt outs (although I know there are some complex rules for how contracts can be structured). Say though, for instance, you sign a 29 year old superstar named Clark Kent to play for your team. He's looking for a 10 year deal, and he wants $300 million. Right now, you give him $30 million a year for 10 years, or maybe you even back load it and have a Bobby Bonilla day so that you can push some of that down the line when the luxury cap might be worth more. What you should be doing is building an escape valve into the contract. No player is just going to give you an opt out, and if you front load the contract you have problems with the luxury tax and possibly with that player being less inclined to stay in shape. Instead, offer him $30 million a year ($300 million) but give yourself an opt out where you can pay less but they can go play for someone else. Say for the first 5 years you promise them 50% if you opt out... that means if you opt out after year four, you owe them 50% of the balance of their contract... $140 million. After year 5, maybe you owe them 30%, so if you opt out after year 7, you owe them $30... but you owe them that whether they go play somewhere else or not. You are still giving them a big contract, but you have a way out if they become an albatross around your neck... but unlike a straight opt out they get something so there is a better chance for them to still make close to the total contract amount because they can sign for less for another team and still count on you providing them a nice subsidy to play somewhere else. Importantly, this would clear some room under the luxury tax for you if you had to release them... not all of it, but some.

[@TransportationHub]

Not only as an NYY fan, but as a New Yorker, I have always said that management and front office was the problem. We need to rip the existing front office that we have and hire new people with fresh minds and new ideas.

[@drygnfyre]

I'd say nowadays with the way baseball teams are put together, very rarely is the manager the issue. Many of them are often times just yes-men for the front office. Aaron Boone might be the face, but firing him won't change anything unless the front office is changed, too. That also means managers have a tendency to get unfairly blamed and fired for the failings of the front office.

[@AwesomeGamer-ib8vy]

You know what Boone should do? Get our players to actually hustle to beat out ground balls thrown to first.

[@TJ-wg3ud]

As a Red Sox fan I’m loving this. It has been obvious for a few years that this team has had major problems, the Yankees chose not to address those problems and this season is the result.

It's so weird seeing the Yankees be THIS bad. 😄 It's almost like living in an alternative universe.

[@drygnfyre]

The Yankees were actually pretty bad during the late 80s/early 90s. The 1992 team was probably the worst, but from roughly 88-92 they were usually at or below .500. One of the ironies was the 1990 squad saw a complete game shutout... that ended in a loss due to walks and errors. I think things move in cycles, every few decades, even the most storied franchises are gonna have their rough patches.

[@platypus597]

Rays had much much more injured players, so not really an excuse tbh.

[@thetigger240]

Are Yankees fans complaining about spending money? Lol This is how it goes sometimes things don’t always workout. But No ones complaining about Judges contract right now but in a few years this video is going to come out again but complaining about that. But I’d rather be complaining about bad contracts then not spending money. Maybe a coaching change, but don’t stop spending money Cashman.

[@decibellone696]

they look a lot like the San Diego Padres. I hate saying that because I really love San Diego. But you have to look at the Dodgers, they develop and buy... the former is why they are where they are. look you cant predict whom gets hot in the post season... but i have to say the Dodgers make sure their in the conversation - constantly!

[@drygnfyre]

Teams like the Astros and Dodgers seem to understand you need to spend money, but also develop. The Padres (and perhaps the Yankees) seem to think you just keeping throwing more and more money, sooner or later the talent will just appear. I think the Yankees have fallen into the "brand name trap" that some other high profile franchises have fallen into, like the Lakers. That thinking the name and history alone will always attract talent. Sure, that sometimes works out, but this year's Mets (and Yankees) are a good example of how you need more than just the payroll.

[@david600R]

Go Braves

[@brianbelden2449]

Ultimately the blame goes to the owner who refuses to fire Brian Cashman. Brian Cashman is easily the most overrated GM on earth who gets more credit for sh!t that he didnt do than anyone ever has. BOB WATSON and GEORGE STEINBRENNER were the architects of the late 1990s Yankee dynasties. Bob Watson quite because George insisted on splurging in free agency too much. Cashman was hired after the core of those dynasties were already in place and its been a tailspin since. The only Yankees champion you can tie to Cashman directly was in 2009 and even that year was only won because the owner went above and beyond the luxury tax threshold to sign Teixeira and Sabathia. I dont think alot of people really understand just how bad Cashman has been at drafting young talent. Outside of Judge, Cashman has been terrible at drafting young talent. In this luxury tax era of revenue sharing your GM MUST be able to succeed at drafting and developing young talent and Cashman has been terrible in that department.

[@RETROTV1394]

Poor Yankees fans.. I know it looks bad for a wildcard berth , but all you guys have to do is win about 31 of the 32 games left .
