Here are final report card grades and analysis for the work provided this season by Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone.
Was Hal Steinbrenner's payroll high enough in the Yankees' first non-playoffs season since 2016? Did Brian Cashman have a bad year constructing the roster? How did Aaron Boone do picking the lineups and running the games? NJ Advance Media's baseball writers weigh in.Last year, the Yankees were a 99-win team that won the AL East and beat the Guardians in a Division before being swept by the Astros in the ALCS.
By July, the Yankees were panicking and Cashman tried something that he’d never done before by firing a coach in-season. Switching hitting coaches at the All-Star break added credibility, but the Yankees’ offense was worse in the second half More than anything, the hitting woes and 38 IL stints for 28 players did in the Yankees, who didn’t even make a run at one of the three AL wild cards in a season they thought their World Series drought had a good shot of ending.
Soon, heads could roll. Cashman and Boone are safe, but others with important titles may not return. Assistant GM Michael Fishman, who oversees the Yankees’ analytics staff, could be in trouble. The Yankees may opt to part ways with Eric Cressey, their director of player health and performance. There could be changes to Boone’s coaching staff.
