The Mets are done for this season. We're going to be sellers at the deadline, assuming there's any deals to be made for our crap. Our starting pitching rotation looks more like a nursing home for baseball retirees. And our bullpen is a complete mess except for Robertson and Raley, who've been excellent, and Ottovino (at times). I think that the Mets are going to have to take a step back next season before they can take a step or two forward.

What does your farm system look like?

We have some pitchers who are a year or three away. Our top minor league pitching prospect (Matt Allan) had arm surgery last season (or the season before). He could be up in 2024. Mike Vasil is up in AAA but is not expected to make the majors until 2025. The next two are Blade Tidwell and Calvin Zeigler and they're not expected until '26.

We have Alvarez, Baty, and Vientos up now with Alvy and Baty starting everyday. Ronnie Mauricio should be up from AAA at some point. But he's an infielder, so we'll have to figure that one out. Maybe move Pete to DH and Baty to 1B? Or McNeil to the OF and Mauricio to 2B?

Can someone who knows more than me explain why Cashman is coming back next year? Is Hal stupid?

I've been meaning to comment for a minute, but that mess with Rizzo should cause for heads to roll from the top down. The team needs new leadership and frankly a damn cleaning out

The Steinbrenner family has always been an incestuous, nepotistic mess. Even though Hal is markedly different from his father outwardly, he's just like his dad when it comes to the stubborn, selfish methodology laced throughout his business strategy and the C-suite types he employs.

Cashman is a really bright guy who deserved the chance to be GM - he had a bunch of fantastic, and frankly perfect, ideas about how to change the organization, but his implementation of those ideas has been lacking, and the lack of accountability that this type of incestuous organizational structure breeds allows failure to be blamed on anything but those at the highest level.

And Cashman also gives Hal what he wants first an foremost: a full stadium and a sh*t ton of revenue. The on-field success of the team is a secondary concern for him, so the yearly failures don't cause the same level of anger and frustration at the ownership level as they do with the fans.

I understand the business part from Hal, but honestly i think the old man would've canned Cashman by now

It's like Cashman has dirt on the Steinbrenner family or something. This year should have been the nail in the coffin, but i heard Cashman is safe, and Boone is out. Why fire Boone and keep the guy responsible for this dog sh*t roster??

Anthony Rizzo going undiagnosed with a concussion is honestly inexcusable. That's an organizational failure and i put that squarely at Brian's feet

[NYKinMIA]

this sucks

George would have fired Cashman by now for sure, but he also would have hired an internal crony as a replacement, possibly even a retread of someone he fired previously. I mean yeah, he fired Billy Martin for stewarding a sinking ship.

But he also hired Billy Martin.

Five times.

It's the same incestuous muck, just a different veneer. It's not like they're a forward thinking, cutting edge organization under George OR Hal. Cashman wanted to do that - those were the ideas I mentioned - and was even given the reins to do so, he just couldn't execute it. Whether it was his own ego that got in the way, or limitations imposed by Hal, it doesn't matter - the result is the same as it was with George because the stubborn, selfish business methodology is genetic.

At least they are not the Mets.

I give Steve Cohen some credit though, he went all in, and when it backfired he and Eppler cut bait and restocked their farm system. Hal and Cashman seem pretty content just treading water.

[thebuzzardman]

I hope they lose out the rest of the year in humilating fashion. This team sucks, its prospects suck. They are 99% always overhyped, overrated, and they can't draft or develop a starting pitcher worth a damn for years.

Team is awesome at generating a bevy of 1 inning bullpen guys and signing washed up vets.

It's basically the "Just before Mattingly" era Yankees.

[Starksfor3yes]

Saw Reinsdorf fire Kenny Williams and Rich Hahn, Hal you better give Cashman and Boone the pink slip now. Nine in a row.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Worst losing streak in 41 years! If they don't finish with a winning record it will be 31 years since that happened.

If Cashman and/or Boone are not fired, something is very wrong around here.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, faced with the team's worst season in more than 30 years, admitted "it's been a disaster" and promised a search to find out the cause.

New York entered Wednesday with a nine-game losing streak and was on the verge of losing 10 in a row for the first time in 110 years.

"It's definitely a shock," Cashman said before the Yankees played Washington. "We're embarrassed by it."

Fired IMMEDIATELY! That's the cause and solution!

[F N 11]

Just here to say Volpe looks solid this year. Room to improve. Fire Cash and Boone already damn.

[Oscirus]

boone is def gone, not sure about cashman. hes been around too long

[will]

The Aaron Boone outbursts have been the highlights.

[Davis18]

Cashman is almost in Steve Mills territory.
He should just resign and take another job.
I am sure there are plenty of teams would be in line for his service.
Give Jeter a chance.

[KnixtapeH20]

The most idiotic comment I read was Boone saying they have a chance. He's the most deluded coach ever. We'd respect u more if u just said we suck, everything is sucks, not an impossible run is coming lmfao this **** team from top to bottom is dog ****... it's years and years of veering from the "championship or bust" motto we actually used to live by

Thanks for the home. run against boston but I never liked the hire.... why should anyone respect him? I always wanted posada to become manager... jorge was one of. my. favorite players ever just an old school gritty winner
