The team is built so poorly, Cashman really needs to step aside, and a new GM needs to bring in a fresh manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 This whole thing with Cashman reminds me a bit of the Sather situation here. Basically a job for life for such an incompetent person. Even if they fire Boone, they're only going to bring in another puppet anyway, but I'm just sick of seeing him anyway. lol Hal is also a stooge and I have no faith in him to find a suitable GM replacement even if he actually fired Cashman. At this point, I'm hoping for a last place finish as well as a losing season. At the very least, I think Boone is gone if that happens, maybe. Top to bottom, they're just in a really sad state. I haven't been this down about the team since the early 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero ties to Boone, but anyone who looks at this Yankees team and thinks the coach is the root of the problem needs to get their head examined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the players generally like and respect him. Cashman is problem numero uno. The last three years especially he's totally wrecked this franchise, inside and out. They are a laughing stock and a complete joke. I don't think it's really an attractive destination anymore for players. Depending on health, it's possible they will be worse next season. As I said to myself before the season, Judge should have signed with San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I don't fault Boone. I like Boone...he's fiery, and he's got a passion to win. The players eat drippy, wet, soggy moose balls! Too much dead wood, starting with Stanton, and Donaldson....fucking unload them already!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm neutral towards Boone, but it's the same song and dance as always - the coach/manager is the lowest hanging fruit and the easiest thing to change. So I am certainly under no delusions that firing Boone is going to make a giant difference, but on the other hand, something has to give after this season. I'd do fucking backflips if there was some actual front office turnover, but at this point I'll take a Boone firing as a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think Boone is definitely gone after this season. Unfortunately, the real crux of the problem, Brian Cashman, will still be here forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Their contract situation is not as bad as I thought it was. You could probably turn it around pretty quick. The candidates to get the boot are pretty obvious. On the down side, the division has two other teams that will spend as much as the Yankees, in TO and Boston, another team who is absolutely stacked with young talent, and the best farm in baseball in Baltimore, and another team, Tampa Bay, who has the secret sauce, as long as their pitching arms don't fall off, and their SS can stop banging 8th graders. It's tough being in the wilderness in this division, I would know, but it doesn't look as bad as I hoped. They are absolutely going to waste Cole and Judge, however, over the next 3 years.

Sharpshooter Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Stanton is really the only awful contract. I think it's five more years with him, maybe four at the least. They're still a few years away from bring a true contender again. Yeah, they're totally going to waste Judge's and Cole's primes, which is sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win262 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I’ve been a fan since the late 1950’s. I wish I still had my 1957 Mickey Mantle card. I think I will stick with “once a fan always a fan”, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Congratulations to Volpe on becoming the first Yankees rookie ever with a 20/20 season! One bright spot from this year. I love how they are calling up all of these other guys only because the fans are demanding it and only because they have to. lol I will miss Harrison Bader very much, also. Good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Such a perfect trade. Exactly what they needed. Now they gotta shore up some of the pitching depth, even if they don't get Yamamoto/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a low ball offer with a lot of years to drive up the total price number to make it look better than it was. Combine that with maybe he just didn't want to be in Washington for his entire career. 15 years and 750 is unrealistic. I think the Yankees will use Judge as the barometer from their side of things (40 a year). Boras/Soto would use Ohtani from their side of things (TBD). It will be somewhere in the middle. My early guess would be 12 years at a 45 AAV (540 total) keeps him off the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that Ohtani and Soto will set the next meta and it is going to be an insane meta. Think the Alex Rodriguez contract compared to the standard at the time ARod signed his big deal with the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soto isn’t Ohtani and if he turns down big money from the Yankees because he thinks he deserves whatever Ohtani is about to get, he’ll be sitting on the market for a while.

It's the curse of being the Yankees. No cap, huge revenues and a small handful of teams that will spend alongside you. Soto doesn't look like he's worth the #1 deal in history but he's also one of 5 guys to have 140+ OPS in 5 seasons thru age 24. The other guys? Mike Trout, Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx and Ty Cobb. Think about it. Edited December 8, 2023 by Br4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
