With the Yankees firing hitting coach Dillon Lawson on Sunday, BT says the organization as a whole is busting at the seams.
“The Yankees are broken,” BT said. “I don’t know how much more we need to watch to come to a different determination. There is not much they do well. They are not fun, they are not young, they are not ascending, they are not exciting.
“When you fire the hitting coach and then tell us you’re going outside the organization, which is an acknowledgement that you might need to start doing things a little differently philosophically, but then, in the next sentence, you tell us you’re not gonna deviate from the organizational philosophies. What are you telling us, Cashman? I can’t take it anymore with him. I’m done.”
Tiki tried to take a glass-half-full approach, reminding BT that there was plenty of season left, and the Yankees are just one game out of a playoff spot at the break, with Aaron Judge potentially returning in the second half, but BT believes the team, in terms of roster construction and organizational philosophy, is too faulty to do anything of note in 2023.
“Please, nobody waste my time today and tell me everything is fine,” BT said. “This team stinks! When you lose in the same way…this is just brutal. It’s old.
“I think the Yankees are organizationally, fundamentally, broken. Every single direction. Every conceivable point of evaluation. I look at this team and I don’t see anything remotely resembling a championship team at all. The GM, the manager, the star players, the leadership. Where are the ascending players? You tell me where they’re not broken.”
