From ‘Go Get ‘Em’ ( Subscribe Here ): Chris McMonigle has A LOT of thoughts about the Yankees' end-of-season press conference, which included a new contract for Brian Cashman and a reinforced faith in Aaron Boone. C-Mac covers it all, from Hal Steinbrenner putting the blame on the Yankee hitters to Aaron Boone taking a hard stance against public accountability. Is there hope for any real change after hearing what leadership had to say? Chris addresses every notable comment from Steinbrenner, Cashman, and Boone in today's presser. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Intro: Welcome to the annual press conference of nothing. Reacting to the inevitable news that Brian Cashman is getting another contract and Aaron Boone is returning to the dugout. 07:00: Hal Steinbrenner points the finger. We discuss the glaring disconnect of an owner who blames the offense for not playing to the back of their baseball cards, yet claims the general manager who built that exact offense "does a great job every year". 27:00: The accountability problem. Hal, Cashman, and Boone firmly believe that publicly criticizing players in the New York market is counterproductive and not real leadership. We debate whether shielding this specific group of players from pressure is actually the reason they consistently fold in the playoffs. 40:00: Labor talks and the salary cap. Hal Steinbrenner confirms he is 100% behind every proposal sent to the players' association that includes a salary cap and floor, and we explore what that means for the Yankees' financial advantage. 45:00: Why the team can no longer rely on Giancarlo Stanton as an everyday DH, and the desperate need to acquire contact-oriented role players at second base, third base, and backup catcher. 50:00: Breaking down Joel Sherman's direct question to Boone asking why he is still the guy to lead the team after nine years of failure, and Boone's staggering admission that he doesn't have a mission statement. 56:00: We read between the lines on Aaron Judge's comments urging the team to go "all in" and Hal Steinbrenner's pointed rebuttal that he expects players to "listen to the medical staff". 01:05:00: Final thoughts on why Hal Steinbrenner might be terrified that firing Brian Cashman could drop the team out of playoff contention entirely, plus an early look at why the Yankees' young core and dominant rotation still offer hope for next season.
