Calling for former Yankee legends to come back and save this team has become an overused, lazy take. Just because Posada or A-Rod were great players doesn’t mean they’d be the right people to run this team. Posada has been outspoken about not liking strikeouts, while A-Rod has criticized the home run-or-nothing approach. The game has evolved, and you need people who understand how modern analytics work and how to use them to.
Jorge Posada does not feel welcomed by the Yankee organization.

27 years ago today, the Yankees defeated John Smoltz en route to a sweep of the Braves and their 12th straight win in the World Series.
Take a minute to watch the full game highlights:
27 years ago today, Chad Curtis walked off the Braves in Game 3 of the 1999 World Series.
The Yankees haven't had a walk-off win in the World Series since 2001.
25 years ago today: the Yankees bludgeon the 116-win Mariners en route to their 4th straight trip to the World Series.
BREAKING: The Yankees and pitching coach Matt Blake are negotiating a new contract and are moving towards a deal according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post.
Some notes today from the press conference from Hal Steinbrenner:
Hal defended Aaron Boone and said he will return in 2027.
Said the Yankees already went all in, pointing to their record-high payroll.
Blamed inconsistent offensive production for the team's postseason failure.
Defended the roster as championship-caliber.
Pointed to injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton as significant setbacks.
Said publicly calling out players isn't necessarily productive.
Acknowledged the pressure of the World Series drought.
Joe Torre: 4 rings, 6 pennants in 12 years.
Aaron Boone: 0 rings, 1 pennant in 9 years.
One left because he felt the organization disrespected him with its contract offer. One is being given one of the longest leashes we’ve seen from a manager.
One guy left because of an offer he thought was an insult after 12 years of greatness. The other is on year 10 with a single pennant.
Aaron Boone, Hal Steinbrenner, and Brian Cashman will speak to reporters over zoom tomorrow.
What should be expected?
"I think he [Hal] cares about winning as much as George Steinbrenner does"
- Michael Kay today on TMKS
“He’s not his dad. And I don’t think he wants to be like his dad. I think he cares about winning as much as George Steinbrenner does, but he’s not going to be the guy who’s going to be the front facing guy who’s going to be screaming at how unhappy he is on the back page of the news.”
