New York Yankees general manager, Brian Cashman, exploded in the face of constant criticism that his team hasn’t reached the World Series since the 2009 campaign when they won the title against the Philadelphia Phillies.
“The only thing that stopped us was something so illegal and horrible,” the renowned executive said, according to the report of journalist Andy McCullough of The Athletic.
Cashman added, “So I get offended when I start hearing we haven’t been in the World Series since 2009.”
After these controversial statements, the GM of the Bronx team finds the perfect way to excuse himself for the failures of the franchise in recent performances in the postseason of the Major Leagues.
Although he does not directly mention the Astros, it is more than evident that the leader is referring to the loss to the Houston Astros in the 2017 American League Championship Series, which was later shown that the Texas team cheated with the theft of dreams.
The truth is that the 2022 MLB season begins on April 7, and, despite the fact that they did not achieve a bombshell during free agency, the Yankees are again among the favorites for the title.
Aaron Judge Numbers with the Yankees
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge is coming off a star campaign in 2021, but that hasn’t been enough to sign a multi-year contract extension.
After six seasons in the majors, the American outfielder has a .276 average and an OBP of .386, with 158 home runs and 366 RBIs.
The 29-year-old Judge seems to have overcome his physical problems, and his performance will be extremely important in the offensive order of a Bronx team that will have to play very good baseball to be able to keep the pennant of the East Division of the American League.
