The trade deadline came and went for the New York Yankees.
Brian Cashman looked at the situation and decided to sit on his hands.
This is all he could manage to come up with.
Could you imagine being the graphics guy making that above tweet?
Holy hell what a joke.
I’m not sitting here screaming that they didn’t get Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani.
That would involve going into the market and finding a left fielder.
They’ve gone years without a competent one and are currently sending out infielders to manage the position.
Don’t you think that warrants a move?
If you believe they can make a playoff push that would be the case.
Outside of Aaron Judge and Jake Bauers the Yankees don’t have a hitter with a .750 OPS.
Maybe go get someone to help that part of your time that’s so desperately struggled.
Those guys won’t light the world on fire with their returns, but you could get back something.
Well, Cashman held those guys in way too high of regard for other team’s liking.
An example of this comes from what they reportedly asked the Marlins for in exchange for Gleyber.
Braxton Garrett, Edward Cabrera, AND two prospects.
Of course they told Cashman to go fuck himself.
You have to do something, though.
Improve the hitting or sell-off some guys that aren’t going to be part of your future.
The Yankees are below .500 this year when they play teams who are not the Royals or A’s.
Over the last 200 games they’re a .500 team.
There’s no hoping this roster magically becomes great.
You have two amazing players in Gerrit Cole and Aaron Judge.
Everything other than that is mostly garbage with a Brian Cashman mistake written all over it.
That is obvious to see.
Even the casual fan recognizes how flawed this roster is.
They realized their mistake and opted to correct it.
Cashman’s ego gets in the way of all of that.
He thinks because he assembled this team they have to see it through.
Somehow the recent years' results aren’t obvious enough to address.
Instead this is what he says post-deadline.
Did you not watch Gerrit Cole shove in Baltimore on Friday only to see the team lose 1-0?
It’s been that way all season long.
Did you not see this team get demolished by the Astros in the ALCS last year?
They like to say the postseason is a crapshoot, you just gotta get in.
So why has the rest of the league done laps around you over the years?
Ever come to think what you’re doing, your entire philosophy, just isn’t working?
I’m so tired of it, man.
They’re so arrogant and lost in their ways.
They have zero direction as an organization.
They just don’t care while the fans care too much.
I’m at fault for that.
For the first time in a very long time I have no interest in going to Yankee games.
You couldn’t drag me there.
To see this train wreck in person?
I barely want to watch them on TV.
I still tune in because I’m a sick individual, but even that is waning by the second.
Isn’t that the whole idea, though?
Shouldn’t they want to put a good product on the field to excite the fans?
Watching this shit night after night isn’t enough to see that’s not the case?
It’s fucking embarrassing.
I have no grounds to do that.
They’re all trolling us.
As long as he’s the GM of this team they have no chance.
If you noticed I didn’t mention Hal in this long winded rant.
He is by far the biggest problem.
I suppose Hal’s refusal to fire him is actually the number one issue, technically.
Pick your poison I suppose.
