Yankees eliminated from MLB playoffs: Could Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone's stability be part of the problem?

The article examines the New York Yankees' recent elimination from the MLB playoffs and questions whether the team's stability, embodied by general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone, could be part of the problem. The Yankees, once known for their owner George Steinbrenner's impulsive decision-making, have become a model of continuity in recent years. Cashman has held his position since 1998, while Boone has been the manager since 2018. The article suggests that this stability might not be an advantage, as the team has failed to win a World Series since 2009. It argues that a more aggressive approach, similar to Steinbrenner's, could be beneficial in shaking up the organization and addressing its shortcomings. The article also raises questions about the team's roster construction, player development, and in-game decision-making as potential factors contributing to the Yankees' recent playoff disappointments. Overall, the article presents a critical analysis of the Yankees' leadership and management, challenging the assumption that stability is always a positive in professional sports.
