“Brian Cashman, at the very least if I run the Yankees, Brian Cashman has 4 weeks to earn an extension,” Tierney stated. “Now I may very well be actually imply and say even when they carry out properly over the following 4 weeks, he nonetheless doesn’t deserve an extension. … Brian Cashman ought to, by way of job standing, ought to be hanging by a thread.”
Cashman, who has held the final supervisor job since 1998, has come beneath fireplace because of the Yankees’ failure to maintain profitable world championships with regularity because the starting of his reign, with 2009 being the one one since 2000.
The Yankees’ present slide, which has seen their season go from probably historic to merely hanging on within the division, has exacerbated issues, as Cashman’s commerce of pitcher Jordan Montgomery for injured outfielder Harrison Bader on the deadline seems to be worse by the day. Montgomery has a 1.47 ERA for the Cardinals whereas Bader has but to take an at-bat in a Yankee uniform.
“I don’t know what Hal [Steinbrenner’s] considering, I don’t even care proper now,” Tierney stated. “… Ever since they gained the championships, not ’09, all of the championships earlier than that, we all know who constructed the crew and it wasn’t Brian Cashman. it was clearly Stick Michael and Bob Watson.
“And post-dynasty, whether or not it’s [Jeff] Weaver, whether or not it’s Kevin Brown, whether or not it’s Randy Johnson, whether or not it’s Sonny Grey, whether or not it’s Jacoby Ellsbury or Gary Sheffield or [Jason] Giambi or different veteran retread beginning pitchers, or [Bobby] Abreu taking part in the outfield, or [Josh] Donaldson’s dopey two-year, $50 million deal or [Aaron] Hicks’ asinine seven-year deal or [DJ] LeMahieu, who seems to be like he’s 50. DJ LeMahieu seems to be like he’s completed. Giving him six years, or buying and selling a center of the rotation lefty [Montgomery] for a man who’s a soft-hitting middle fielder.
“Let’s simply be clear about this, and I say this with no satisfaction or pleasure however I do say this with conviction. Brian Cashman has not earned the appropriate to rebuild this crew the way in which this crew must be rebuilt.”
The Yankees, who maintain a 4 1/2-game lead within the AL East heading into Wednesday, are nonetheless on observe to make the playoffs for the sixth straight season, and have solely missed the postseason 4 instances beneath Cashman.
This offseason, although, can be pivotal, as Aaron Decide hits free company and the Yankees might want to spend large to maintain him in New York.
