With the latest Frankie Montas news, which puts his entire 2023 season in doubt as he awaits shoulder surgery, many Yankee fans saw another opportunity to rip Brian Cashman’s recent trades, especially for pitchers.
Boomer wants to know where the praise is for the longtime GM, and wonders why there is only ever loud criticism for Cashman.
“Why don’t you have a list starting with, I don’t know, Roger Clemens?” Boomer said, addressing one of Cashman’s first big trades as general manager, which helped the Yanks reach three straight World Series.
“The thing about it is, and I don’t want to get into the weeds with Yankee fans one day into freaking spring training already. Why don’t you put up the list of the amount of winning seasons Brian Cashman has had, and the amount of playoff appearances Brian Cashman has had, and compare that with our team, the Mets?”
Cashman certainly has his opposers, and while he hasn’t had much luck on the trade market in recent years in terms of pitching (Montas, Sonny Gray, and Andrew Heaney, to name a few), there have been plenty of success stories, and big-time steals like Didi Gregorius, Luke Voit, and Gio Urshela. Boomer just wants to see some perspective when it comes to Cashman.
