Yankees’ Steinbrenner excited about young players, says team will evaluate analytics department

The Yankees (65-69) are in danger of having their streak of 30 consecutive winning seasons end this year, and Steinbrenner said every facet of the team will be looked in detail going forward.

“We’re going to take a very deep dive into everything we’re doing,” Steinbrenner said. “We’re looking to bring in possibly an outside company to really take a look at the analytics side of what we do. Baseball operations in general. We’re going to have some very frank conversions with each other. This year was obviously unacceptable.”

General manager Brian Cashman called the season “a disaster” last week. Cashman, 56, has been general manager since 1998 and agreed last December to a four-year contract. Aaron Boone took over as manager before the 2018 season and has one more guaranteed season in a three-year deal that includes a team option for 2025.

“I think we’re all going to be evaluated, including myself,” Cashman said.

“We’re going to take a very deep dive into everything we’re doing,” Steinbrenner said. “We’re looking to bring in lots and lots of star players from everywhere, including your team. Because we can. Because money. Bite me."

George Steinbrenner died in 2010 - and he ain't walking back through that pinstriped door......

Cot's has the Yankees for competitive tax purposes at $196.667 mil already for 2024 before factoring in arbitration and resigning any free agents (including $10 mil to Hicks for each of the next 2 years...heh). So technically the Yankees have money to spend and I doubt they want to waste Judge/Cole/Rodon's time together so we'll see how nuts they go in free agency.

The Yankees starting lineup tonight has 7 players who came up through their minor league system. We’ll see how that works out, but they really need Dominguez & Volpe to continue to impress in order to be better next season (among other things).

It's 8 players once Severino is included.

Can they lobby the league to play the Astros 30 times a year?

That would put them right back in the race without having to do anything else.

Probably best to avoid the Red Sox, they are 1-8 so far against this year. The epic battle for 4th in the AL east will be determined by this clash for the ages between these 2 titans.

It’s analytics’ fault.

But how will they evaluate analytics without... Oh never mind, they're just going to spend their way out of it.

We’re looking to bring in possibly an outside company to really take a look at the analytics side of what we do.
Consultants: the surest sign that the people running the business don't know how to run the business.

That's fine if the junior Steinbrennae don't know how to run this business; it's not for everyone, and the business itself has evolved over time which makes "knowing how to run this business" a moving target. But, like, they've spent the last dozen years or so pretending that they know what they are doing. Journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and all that, but NY fans I'm sure feel they deserve better than waiting over a decade for their owners to try to figure out what to do with their inherited toy.
