Change is inevitable...
He deserves itA-Rod and Jeter pretty much cutting a promo on Cashman and his approach, no contact no defense
Boone gonna be coaching Pickleball in West Palm Beach next year

Lombard put up Volpe numbers in Double-A this year.
Right now he's not the answer to anything.

Another year of getting beat by a team that emphasizes contact. Next season though they'll still run out the same wack ass lineup with low average hitters who get shut down in October.
Feels pointless to even talk about what changes need to be made to the roster when you know Cashman isn't going anywhere.

I'm gonna get this stuff out of the way
Boone's not leaving. Cashman's not leaving. I'm not gonna waste time on them because it's pointless.
However, give me Fishman's head on a platter. Give me something. There are other guys who have been around for 10-20 years who need to go too. The Yankees gotta clean house in other departments before it hurts our ability to develop anyone else.
C Wells. If the decision is to keep Rice at 1B, whatever. If we wanna play Rice at C, then you're out of a starting job.
1B. Goldschmidt. One of my favorite players of the last 15 years. Consummate professional, but it's over.
Rice. If we have a chance to get Murakami, I'm all for moving him to C. If not, I'm fine with him at 1B.
2B. Chisholm. 30/30 season. Swag and all that. I'm not giving him an extension. He talks way too much shyt to underperform the way he does. What saves him is that the 2B market sucks and we traded Riggio for Jake Bird (who we never saw again), but if someone calls for him, I'm listening.
My proposal: trade him to the Mariners for Michael Arroyo (profiles like a Howie Kendrick bat at 2B-- and he'd be ready at the same time Lombard would)
SS. Volpe. He's basically Cashman/Boone status now. Caballero should start while we wait for Lombard. I can't watch him anymore. They've invested so much into him and can't face the fact that it's not happening and they share blame in this. He sucks when healthy, let alone hurt.
3B. Rosario. Probably gone, but I'm open to keeping him and platooning him with McMahon
McMahon. He's here for another 2 years. He's gotta hit better but he did field well and was hitting when the top of the order wasn't.
LF. Bellinger. I'd be VERY hesitant to bring him back on a 6 year deal if he opts out. Had a very good season, Awful playoffs. If he opts in, fine.
Dominguez. PLAY HIM IN WINTER LEAGUE!. This year, a lot more all-star level Dominicans are going to prep for the WBC. Once Dominguez gets his belongings, fly him out, give him a Gigantes Del Cibao jersey and let those coaches work with him since they're way more open to work with players than this team is. Look at what they did to Caminero. My fear is that they don't believe in him. At least we got his AB in the 9th lol.
CF. Grisham. Awesome season followed by a God awful playoffs. Hope you get a multi year deal in the winter that isn't from us.
RF. Judge. You're off the hook. Still a 20% chance we'll hear Cashman say he needs Tommy John because that's what this team does.
DH. Stanton. 1 more year of missing half the year but producing in the season. Playoff Stanton didn't show up this year which sucks.
I'll do the pitching in a minute.

I'm not rooting for them to win the World Series (I wanna see Seattle make it), but if this is how Donnie finally wins a ring, it's the only silver lining I can muster up.

Cam Schittler. We got one with this guy. Don't ruin him.
Gerrit Cole. Heal back soon. But when he comes back, he's not gonna be the unquestioned ace, which is ok.
Fried. Picked a bad time to shyt the bed but had a Fried type season and that's more than ok. The rotation is honestly a strength even though this team picked a bad time to make that take look stupid.
Rodon. No matter how good the regular season numbers are, no matter how many K's he gets, no matter how many wins he racks up, no matter how many innings he logs, I will never trust him in a big game. Ever. Word to my dead.
Gil. I'm willing to throw this year out because he was out for so long, but his weaknesses still remain. The walks have to go or he's gonna drive us nuts forever. For a fifth starter, he's tolerable. If he wants to be more than this, he's got a lot of work to do.
Warren. He's Nathan Eovaldi. Awesome stuff. Walks too many people. Has too many blowup innings. He's at a fork in the road already. He can either work on his control and and develop into what Eovaldi has become (hopefully still here) or be like every other pitcher with good stuff who fails: be a 6th inning arm.
Eovaldi at 26 with the Yankees:
9-8, 5.29 ERA, 97K, 124.2 innings, 1.31 WHIP
Warren at 26 with the Yankees
9-8, 4.44 ERA, 171K, 162.1 innings, 1.37 WHIP
Devin Williams, Luke Weaver, Jonathan Loaisiga, Camilo Doval, Paul Blackburn. Vaya con dios. Williams might be top 2 worst acquisitions I have ever seen, Weaver can be Clay Holmes elsewhere. fukk everyone else.
Bednar. He can close for us next year.
Tim Hill: Dependable as hell and it should take 5 minutes to determine that he should be back.
Cruz: he has fire. Really old, and had his moments of messing up, but I'm cool with bringing him back.

All jokes aside, is this almost worst case scenario for Yankees fans regarding Cashman and Boone? Do you think there is a chance that either would have been canned if they lost in the Wild Card round, but won't be canned as they won and Judge finally showed up?
For as terrible as Boone can be, I'm almost more surprised that Cashman is still there.

my way too early wishlist
I want Murakami here. That guy's gonna be legit. He's Ben Rice if Ben hits 40-45 homers a year.
I'd trade Jazz for Michael Arroyo like I mentioned earlier. That would mean Polanco shakes loose. Go sign him to hold down the fort.
Forgot to mention this earlier: make a fukking decision on Jones. Either he's part of this future or shop him. I don't want another year of limbo. He's almost 25.
Volpe, I wouldn't start him anymore, but realistically he's going to.
Get a new 4th OF, ideally a righty bat you can rehabilitate, think Lane Thomas or even bringing back Austin Slater.
C Rice/Wells
1B Murakami
2B Polanco
SS Volpe/Caballero
3B McMahon/Cabrera
LF Dominguez
CF Bellinger or Jones
RF Judge or Jones (assuming Judge is hurt)
DH Stanton /whoever else needs it
bench
Wells
Caballero
Thomas or Slater
Cabrera
Rosario or someone else
Assuming Cole returns 100% by April (for once we're not hunting for starters UNLESS... Gil and/or Warren get moved and we pursue Michael King)
Fried
Cole
Rodon
Schlittler
Gil
Warren
the pen
Bednar
Hill
and that's about it. My guess is they'll keep Doval and Jake Bird and work with them. Cousins will be back healthy. Leiter sadly will probably still be here. Maybe keep Yarbrough too (forgot to mention him. He overachieved big time).
Pen needs the most work. Everything else screams mostly run it back

No. If they survived 2023, they can survive just about anything.
Cashman is there (other than the fact he's practically family) for one reason: Hal wouldn't know where to turn if he did let him go.
