The general manager of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, has finally opened up in a short analysis about the season that the team has had, which he has described as “disastrous” and let it be known that everyone’s performance will be evaluated and decisions will be made. measures to prevent this from happening again next year.
“It has been a disaster this season. Yes, definitely a shock. We are embarrassed by this,” Cashman said as he let it be known that his work as a manager will also be evaluated after the season ends.
And it is that the New York team is the one with the second highest payroll this season with a total of $250 million dollars, however, they exhibit a record of 60-65 that places them in last place in the East Division of the League American, which is dominated by the Baltimore Orioles.
“Obviously we are disappointed, frustrated and angry. And that’s representative of every aspect of this franchise, from top to bottom. And that includes our players too. They care. They are fighting”, pointed out the New York executive.
“I know it doesn’t sound like that, but I would say if you try to put yourself in their position, I don’t think anybody wants to go out in front of 40,000 people and lay an egg, either individually or collectively as a team, because what comes with that is pretty horrible,” he added.
The Bronx Bombers came into this Wednesday with a nine-game losing streak, something that had not been seen in the team since 1982 and which, in turn, is a clear example of what the team’s performance has been all year.
Brian Cashman, who made his major league managerial debut in 1998, signed a contract with the Yankees in December 2022 for four seasons, for his part, manager Aaron Boone has one more year left on the contract he signed in 2018, both are singled out as responsible for this season and their positions could be in jeopardy.
