In his first time speaking to reporters since the Yankees finished what he described in August as a “disaster” of a season, Brian Cashman came out firing.
Hal Steinbrenner’s vague Yankees ‘changes’ pledge comes with analytics defense: ‘Not justified’SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —
A fiery Cashman held court for over an hour on Tuesday, much of it defending the Yankees’ baseball operations group that put together the roster of an 82-win team – the club’s worst record since 1992. “I’m proud of our people and proud of our process,” Cashman said at the general manager’s meetings. “It doesn’t mean we’re firing on all cylinders, it doesn’t mean we’re the best in class.
“But I think we’re pretty f–king good, personally. I’m proud of our people and I’m also looking forward to ’24 being a better year than ’23.”He cited the Yankees as having the smallest analytics staff in the American League East and the largest pro scouting department in the majors. Brian Cashman says he believes one of the things the Yankees are "victimized" with trades that don't work out is that they're "trying to go for it"Cashman said much of the Yankees’ debrief since missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016 has been separating fact from “bulls–it.” See All Columnists
