Follow usNew York Yankees are on the verge of their longest losing streak in a century as their general manager Brian Cashman labelled the season “a disaster” and “an embarrassment”.
New York (61-65), which began the season with baseball’s second-highest payroll at $275 million, ended its first nine-game losing streak in 41 years by beating Washington 9-1 Wednesday. Still, the Yankees are on track for their first losing season since 1992.
“It’s been a disaster this season. Yes, definitely a shock. We’re embarrassed by it.”
“I don’t think there’s anybody on this planet that felt that the New York Yankees as constructed leaving spring training wasn’t a playoff contending team … shit happens … and because of that there’s a mess on our hands”
-Brian Cashman

“We’re really obviously disappointed, frustrated, angered,” Cashman said. “And that’s representative from every aspect of this franchise from top to bottom. And that includes our players, too. They care. They’re fighting. I know it doesn’t look like that, but I would say if you try to put yourself in their position, I don’t think anybody wants to go out in front of 40,000 people and lay an egg, whether it’s individually or collectively as a team, because then what comes with that is pretty horrific.”
Cashman, 56, has been general manager since 1998 and agreed last December to a four-year contract.
