The New York Yankees recently concluded their season after a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. This defeat has sparked significant debate among fans regarding the futures of general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone.
Fan Opinions on Boone and Cashman
A recent poll conducted by The Athletic indicates that Yankees fans have mixed feelings about the leadership duo. The poll presented four options for fans to choose from regarding Boone and Cashman’s employment status:
- Fire both Boone and Cashman
- Keep both Boone and Cashman
- Fire Boone and keep Cashman
- Fire Cashman and keep Boone
Poll Results
The results of the poll are as follows:
- 41% of respondents advocated for firing both Boone and Cashman.
- 26% preferred to keep both in their respective roles.
- 21% voted to fire Boone while retaining Cashman.
- 12% opted to fire Cashman and keep Boone.
This data shows a divided fanbase. While 67% of poll participants leaned towards either continuing with the current management or making significant changes, Boone appears to bear the brunt of the blame for the team’s shortcomings.
The Future of the Yankees’ Management
As the speculation unfolds, the Yankees’ fans eagerly await news on whether Brian Cashman will continue his tenure as general manager for a 29th year and if Boone will remain at the helm for his ninth season. It’s worth noting that the Yankees have not won a World Series in 16 years and have not even reached the championship series in the past year.
The internal discussions will likely continue as the organization weighs its options following another disappointing postseason. Fans are waiting to see what changes, if any, will occur before the next season begins.
