The head coach of the New York Yankees has chosen to resign due to criticism from his wife.
Hitting coach Dillon Lawson was let go by the Yankees during the All-Star break, but a larger firing is anticipated soon.
It doesn’t sound like the most responsible man, though.
It appears that manager Aaron Boone would be let go if it weren’t for Cashman. Although Boone has been more relaxed recently, Klapisch says it’s “highly unlikely” that he has been guaranteed a job for the upcoming season. Nevertheless, Klapisch acknowledges that this is a possibility. Perhaps word has already gotten out to him that he won’t be returning the following year.
During a press conference earlier this week, Cashman was questioned about Boone’s job security. The general manager didn’t exactly give his captain a thumbs up. Rather, he declared that everyone, including himself, would be assessed. Hal Steinbrenner, the managing partner, will conduct these evaluations.
Even though Boone is the convenient scapegoat in this case, he is not primarily to blame. That would be Cashman, who made a number of mistakes in building a roster, including failing to acquire a left fielder.
In addition to Boone, the Yankees should overhaul their scouting, player development, and analytics departments—all of which have been weak points in the past.
