NY YANKEES - 2021
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
We need to get the Steinbrenners to say something racist against black people, and get it on tape, so that they can go away. Because, they're really the problem with this team, more so then Boone or Cashman.
The fact that they let Didi go, and picked up an option on Chapman, so they can save $2 million on the luxury tax next year, is one of the most silly things I ever heard. How important can Chapman be if we never have a lead late?
Looking like a three team race in the AL East, between Boston, Tampa, and Toronto.

Yes. I do not believe he will be let go in season. After the season, that's another story.fordham96 post=434806 said:
Bob Klapish was on the FAN with Sweeny Murti today, and he laid it all out (remember, he wrote Inside the Empire, which was the book about Cashman's rebuilding job from a few years back, so he has access). The Yankees will not let any staff members (managers, coaches, front office people, etc.) go before then end of their contracts (unless they do something embarrassing off the field, of course). Ownership (which is the real problem with this team) just doesn't want to pay two people for one job. The last person paid by the Yankees to not manage the team was Stump Merrill (not counting Joe Torre in 1999, because that was a medical situation). As messy as the exits of Showalter, Torre, and Girardi might have been, they were done at the end of their contracts. So, expect Boone to make it until the end of the year, and Cashman through next year.
Scary part is, this is a fully functional organization. Owners, GM, other front office people, and manager are all on the same page. If we were winning, that would be a great thing, but since we're not, that's very, very scary.
And now the bullpen is broken. One of the last strong pieces of this team. That pitch to Odor. Wow. What a horrible season DJLM is having. And Stanton absolutely sucks. Cut him now. Please. I said this would be a sweep after game 1. Unfortunately correctly.

First I'll disregard the fact that you want a successful ownership group to sell the team. I'm sure there are 25 fan bases in MLB that would gladly love the Steinbrenner's as owners.
But as for you specific thought there are ways to say you want ownership to sell without saying something outlandish like that. Read the room of the world we're living in right now.
I don’t think ownership is cheap, especially with this payroll and how it’s structured.
This team has no pride. They are playing dumb, undisciplined baseball with an unbalanced and overrated roster.
Time for a change. Well At least there’s the Islanders.

How can any one say Ownership is cheap based on that payroll? How much more do they need to spend as their return on investment has not been good a all. Why, because they don't want to spend anymore. Why keep throwing good money of out for bad. All you they've received is underperforming, repeatedly injured players who when healthy can't even play back to back games. Who is out there right now (and available) that would make this team into a legit contender? They need more than one person and the ones they need are probably not available. Joey Gallo, show another all or nothing hitter who might be able to play center, but he swings lefthanded. Is he really going to move the needle? Schwerzer? If you can get him and at what cost. Does he help give us someone behind Cole. Yes, but really, does he move this team any closer to being a contender? Not by himself.Knight post=434819 said:
Horribly constructed, horribly managed, horribly flawed and overrated team from the start. Players are stubborn, have no clue how to adjust to anything (Gleyber does, but fell into that stubborn routine but seems to have gotten out of that at the plate at least) and are delusional as is the Manager and GM..
The blame lay's with Cashman. He brought into the old must have superstars thinking. Not that you can exactly repeat the success of the 96 - 2000 Yankees, but they were a team of good players who meshed and knew how to win. Put the ball in play, made productive outs and knew how to run the bases. Played good, solid defense. Had deep benches.
Cashman has made horrible decisions on long term contracts, keeps trading for or signing pitchers with injury history who of course breakdown because, that's what they do, keeps the wrong players protected from the Rule V draft, hasn't developed any real depth from in-house pitching or for that matter non-pitchers either (while Torres and Frazier played in our minor league systems, they started out elsewhere).
I agree Knight, they have no fire, no pride and no hearts.
