David Wells criticized the Yankees for their clubhouse culture, saying the players should be blamed for the way this season has gone, not GM Brian Cashman.
“It always seems that the GM and managers are getting fired and blamed,” Wells said. “If I was the GM, I would start sending a message. I don’t care who it is. If he’s in the stink hole, send that son of a gun to Triple-A or Double-A and send him a wake-up call. I don’t care how much money they’re making. Send a message to them and let them go sit down there and think about it.”
“I go into clubhouses, guys have their headphones on, they’re hiding in the back room,” Wells said. “If somebody walked into my clubhouse, the first thing I did is introduce myself, can I get a signed ball and how’d you get this guy out? I ask questions. And these guys don’t ask questions. This is analytics.
Wells spent four seasons of his 21-year career with the Yankees, posting a 3.90 ERA over 124 starts. He’s remembered most for the perfect game that he threw on May 17, 1998, the second perfect game in Yankees history. Wells was the ace of that year’s pitching staff, finishing the timeless campaign with an 18-4 record and 3.49 ERA.
“I hate Nike, they’re woke!” Wells said. “I’ve never been into politics, but after COVID happened, you just see everything ... Leave that stuff out!”
