Long time posters here may have figured ou by some of my comments that I'm not a big Cashman fan. I am ok with Boone however. Yankee Teams over the past several years have had to deal with a lot of adversity and injuries. To some degree, poorly constructed rosters. Don't agree with every move he makes but I can probably say that about most MLB managers. I've never bought into the theory that he's a puppet and someone else is calling the shots. I believe he makes the lineup, decides who plays and makes the game time decisions. He has the support of the locker room and in todays game thats a biggie. I also understand I'm probably in a minority. |

I mean why else fire a guy who took a team that wasnt supposed to be in the playoffs within 1 game of the ws and replace him with a guy with no managerial exp whatsoever??? I mean if you want proof that cashman does have his hand in game time decisions just look at the last minute decision they made to use an opener in game 2 of the 2020 divisional series vs tampa . Boone was on record for saying he disagreed with that move . |

That was one reason that's true and they were right too . But in the end the firing of joe girardi and the hiring of boone was a power play by cashman |

Clipper I believe that was a primary reason, also read that Joe was wound so tight that players couldn't relax. If you listened to his post game pressers it doesn't seem far fetched. I also think that Cash wanted to move more aggressively to using analytics and I think Boone was probably more open to that. As far as Cash meddling in day to day stuff, I don't buy it. Managers and GMs do communicate and there is give and take. That's the case with all GMs and Managers. Cash is on record as saying he has never ordered a Manager to do somthing that was a game decision. I believe him. I suppose he has made sugestions and Boone has gone along with some, maybe even most. For example, maybe he is show casing a prospect and he asks Boone to make sure he gets some playing time. I don't think it is unusual for GMs and Mgrs. to collaborate. Is Cashman more involved than most GMs on decisions that fall within the pervue of the Mgr. I haven't seen evidence of it. I would also believe that any Manager that doesn't have a good working relationship with the GM is probably not going to be around long. |

Come on man , in game 2 of the 2020 playoffs against tampa is proof enough that cashman and the FO that he has a say in game day decisions . And last year cashman said that he lets boone make game time decisions but if they fail boone has to answer to him . Who else but a puppet master says that ?? |

I havent believed a word from cashman since the 18 off season when he said the starting rotation would be a priority and the best he could do was james paxton and re- signing an aging happ to a multi year deal |

I don't like Cash as a GM but just not ready to call hima liar. I think you are right about Girardi being wound too tight to manage a baseball team. The guy looks like the test pilot who knows his plane was assembled by the lowest bidder ! But the timing of the move was incomprehensible. Girardi did his best work in '16 and '17...and then Cashman fired him. He deserved 2 more seasons with that team. |

I always said Girardi was so tight he sh*t silly string… I’d get so aggravated when he’d run to the table to read those charts in game… |

Tim Kabel: Jasson Dominguez is way ahead of schedule in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Remember, he is just 21 years old. First, that means he heals more quickly than most of us and second, from everything I've read, he seems to be a very hard worker who really wants to excel. His progress may be the reason the Yankees have not signed Cody Bellinger.
Once Jasson Dominguez returns from the IL, the Yankees lineup could produce a lot of fireworks with Judge, Soto, Rizzo, if he's healthy, and youngsters such as Dominguez, Wells, and Volpe, although I would like to see him sacrifice some home runs for a higher batting average.

Adam Weinrib: (Yankees have) managed to make it all the way to February with five catchers on the 40-man roster. Protecting Agustin Ramirez from the Rule 5 Draft? Smart! Keeping Carlos Narvaez and Ben Rortvedt around (after trading Kyle Higashioka to San Diego)? Kind of confusing.
Bucking conventional wisdom, it still feels slightly more likely they trade Rortvedt than Narvaez. The Yankees recently signed Luis Torrens to a minor-league deal, who requires playing time at Triple-A. So does Narvaez. So does Rortvedt. Why keep the player who's shown the least at the major-league level, and also has the least growth still left ahead of them?
Keeping the entire trio, as well as all five catchers currently on the 40-man, would be obnoxious. It's a close call, but if Rortvedt isn't intended to be in the majors to provide comfort for Cole, then what exactly does allowing him to soak up all the Triple-A starts do for you? Narvaez could have a higher ceiling, and it would be nice to watch him approach it.
