At the All Star Break, who ever thought that Oswaldo Cabrera would be hitting cleanup for the Yankees?

At the All Star Break, who ever thought that Oswaldo Cabrera would be hitting cleanup for the Yankees? Or that Hicks would STILL be in the line up… |

IF WE do NOT make the WS it maybe BYE-BYE BOONE and Hello Welcome Back Donnie
Did Marlins just pave way for Don Mattingly to come home to Yankees?
Most New York Yankees fans have been clamoring for a change in the managerial position for the last few years.
Aaron Boone has served as Brian Cashman's mouthpiece and has made questionable decisions year after year.
Unfortunately for fans who want to see a new leader, a change there would be quite drastic since Boone just signed a 3-year contract extension keeping him with the team through 2024.
While this writer believes the issues are at the top with ownership — George Steinbrenner's son, Hal, doesn't spend for wins the same way his dad was willing to — a managerial change could help inject a new fire into the team.
Mattingly was never given all the pieces needed in Miami, but a quick look at his time managing the Los Angeles Dodgers gets one a bit more fired up for what he could do.
Mattingly posted a .556 winning percentage with the Dodgers, taking them to the playoffs three times and all the way to the championship series once. The Dodgers' recent World Series appearances were led by Dave Roberts, though, not Mattingly.
Mattingly as a player spent his entire 14-year career in the Bronx. He won an MVP, was a six-time All-Star, won several Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers, among other accolades and accomplishments. Unfortunately, his time in New York was underscored by being on bad teams.
It wasn't until the end of his career that the Yankees dynasty of the 90s and 2000s began, and Mattingly never won a World Series. He did get a postseason appearance finally in 1995, his last year in the majors.
Mattingly coming back to lead the Yankees as a manager would be oh-so-sweet for long-time Yankee fans. Since Boone is under contract for the foreseeable future, though, Mattingly coming back as a coach of some sort would be more likely in between management positions.
Mattingly would need to be open to that, though, and may have more attractive offers on the table this offseason, if he wants to keep working at all.
Mattingly in a coaching position would still be great and not unlike other recent moves. The Yankees swooped up Luis Rojas this offseason as a third-base coach after he was fired by the New York Mets.
If nothing else, having both Rojas and Mattingly on the coaching bench would give the Yankees some fallback options if they need to make a drastic mid-season management adjustment. A
Also, Boone gets ejected frequently, so having some skilled managers picking up the slack when he heads to the clubhouse early would be helpful.

Hicks makes a nice catch at the wall and Cortes gets the Sox 1-2-3 in the first.

I still don't like interviewing players while they're playing but Bader seems like a cool dude.

I don't mind on the field interviews. That one was fun. Hard not to love Bader already.

I once had a left fielder playing beside me that kept creeping over close to me so he could talk while we were playing. I damn near took his head off for that. I apologized to him later, he was just a kid, maybe 18. But I explained to him how important it was that we play our positions, and how serious I took my defense…

It’s a statement about the state of offense that Rizzo has a 134+ OPS with a .224 BA…
