Cashman has been the general manager of the Yankees for 25 years. Only one team that Cashman assembled won a World Series in 2009. For some unknown reason, the Yankees treat their general manager position as a lifetime appointment.<\/p>\n
\n
If mercurial owner George \u201cThe Boss\u201d Steinbrenner was still alive, Cashman would have been fired sometime in the last decade. Steinbrenner loved to fire front office staff and managers. In his first 23 years as the owner of the Yankees, he switched managers no less than 20 times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Steinbrenner’s son, Hal, runs the Yankees these days. While the elder Steinbrenner lived and died by every win and loss, the Yankees scion takes a more relaxed approach than his father.<\/p>\n
Hal Steinbrenner seems more concerned with running the franchise as a profitable business, and less concerned about the Yankees as a baseball team that has won just one championship in the last 23 years.<\/p>\n
Even though the Yankees only won the World Series once this century, Forbes<\/em> estimates the Yankees are worth more than $7.1 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\nThere was speculation that Hal Steinbrenner would fire Cashman last offseason, but he stood by his long-time general manager. Even with the current status of the Yankees, Steinbrenner hasn’t changed his mind and firmly believes in Cashman.<\/p>\n
The Final Days of Aaron Boone<\/h2>\n Boone cemented his legacy with the Yankees during a short, one-season stint as their third basemen. Boone hit a walk-off home run in extra innings against the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS that will forever be burned in the minds of fans.<\/p>\n
Twenty years later, Boone’s days as a manager are slowly coming to an end. He was brought in to replace Joe Girardi as the manager in 2018. He won two AL East titles, but hasn’t produced a single trip to the World Series or won a championship. The Houston Astros knocked the Yankees out of the ALCS twice under Boone, including an embarrassing sweep last October.<\/p>\n
\n
Boone garners significant attention for his arguments with home plate umpires. In the era of instant video playback, Boone gets even more incensed when an umpire makes a mistake. The first time Boone exploded on an umpire occurred in 2019 during the infamous “f–king savages” outburst. That hilarious incident garnered him national attention and demonstrated his dedication to sticking up for his players.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
However, Boone chastising umpires has become a tired act and his antics have become easy click-bait on social media. Some fans and former players think Boone constantly riding the umpires hurts the Yankees in the long run.<\/p>\n
All signs suggest the Yankees will retain Cashman, but fire Boone. Someone has to be held accountable for the Yankees’ downfall, even though Cashman is the one who assembled a team filled with overpaid veterans and a pitching staff that\u2019s constantly injured.<\/p>\n
The only way Boone can save his job would be a miraculous turnaround in the final 38 games.<\/p>\n
Moon Shots on the Futures Market<\/h2>\n With the playoffs out of reach, this is a chance to see the team’s future stars and showcase minor league prospects such as infielder Oswald Peraza, outfielder Everson Pereira, and catcher Austin Wells.<\/p>\n
The Yankees called Peraza and Pereira up to the big leagues on Monday, and they also promoted Jasson “The Martian” Dominguez from Double-A to their Triple-A affiliate in Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n
FanGraphs<\/em> estimates the Yankees have a 0.5% chance of making the playoffs. If you think the Yankees have a shot at a postseason berth, then there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.<\/p>\nThe Yankees are +3000 odds to qualify for the playoffs, according to a prop bet by DraftKings. They are -20000 odds to miss the playoffs.<\/strong><\/p>\nBefore the season began, the Yankees were second co-favorites to win the 2023 World Series at +750 odds. The Yankees are now an astronomical long shot to win the World Series at +40000 odds. They’re also a long shot to win the AL pennant at +25000 odds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
