How long? That's the question for the New York Yankees right now. How long until Aaron Judge returns from his toe injury? How long can a lineup featuring this many big names — even in his absence — continue to be this bad? How long can this team maintain contact with the high-flying AL East and AL wild-card races without serious changes? And how long can the team-building status quo in the Bronx hold?
Hitting coaches are notoriously easy to scapegoat and difficult to accurately gauge from the outside. Lawson,, helped instill a mantra in the Yankees organization:"Hit strikes hard."
Let’s get some basic caveats out of the way: Cashman has earned the benefit of the doubt many times over. A huge majority of MLB organizations would happily trade their recent lots in life for two 100-win seasons, a 99-win season and two ALCS appearances — the franchise’s top-line successes since Aaron Boone took over as manager in 2018 — and several beyond that would love to get a peek inside the Yankees’ pitching development pipeline.
The Yankees have spent the past half-decade gesturing at an emphasis on rising young talent, something akin to the Los Angeles Dodgers' model that every team — including, Steve Cohen's more flamboyantly flat New York Mets — wants to employ. Clubs as proud as the Yankees don't exactly come out and say that, but there has been clear restraint at work, despite the consistent, top-level spending that kept Judge in town and reeled in Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón.
Judge will join the 32-and-up group next year, and as the front office determines whether to deal for Randal Grichuk or some such temporary aid this season, it seems prudent for them to start thinking about stickier sidekicks.exorbitant spending, the Yankees look like a tale of too little ambition, not too much. Or, maybe more accurately, it appears they might've tripped themselves up by spreading their ante among a host of riskier plays instead of going all-in on one.
