00:00The center of attention is the New York Yankees and their 27 world championships.

00:03And we're expected to compete for championships here.

00:06Here's their general manager, Brian Cashman, talking about Aaron Boone.

00:09You know, there's a lot of things for him to be proud of.

00:11I think he's a good manager.

00:13I think he's, you know, one of the better managers.

00:15And I think, like, in this environment, if he was out there right now,

00:17he'd get a job rather quickly.

00:19But I also know because of our environment,

00:21he's someone that can be second-guessed 10 million times over.

00:24And I don't care who you put in that.

00:25That would be the same, you know, whoever else would be there.

00:28I trust him.

00:31I think he's a good man.

00:32I think he works his tail off.

00:34I think he's got, you know, good people that help support him.

00:38And he's got good players.

00:40And with all that, it doesn't guarantee the outcome we're all fighting for.

00:45But the guarantee is always that we're going to be fighting for it.

00:47And that's the one thing that the Steinbrenner family provides for this city

00:49is constantly having a team that you can put forth that you can believe is capable of a championship.

00:55And that's the job that we'll be doing again once again next year.

00:59I'd rather be talking about a World Series title right now, but I'm not, you know.

01:04But the championship caliber intent is always there.

01:08So, and I do think we have a good manager.

01:10And I think he cares.

01:11And I think he works hard.

01:12And I think he's got good people.

01:13And I think we have good players.

01:15And we're going to try it again.

01:16Sounds like a guy confident in his job.

01:19But understand this, too.

01:20We're talking about the New York Yankees at this point.

01:22Yeah, we're talking about the Yankees right now.

01:24And, you know, they're built on championships.

01:27And I know they get, hey, the 27 World Championships.

01:29It's like, you know, like sometimes Alabama counts championships like the 1930s.

01:32And one paper voted them national champions.

01:34And they put that up there.

01:35For the Yankees, roughly over 25 years, they have one championship.

01:38And also, correct me for a moment.

01:39How many times they get to the World Series over the past, like, 20 to 25 years?

01:42And yet you still hear this, like, hey, you know, things are going to be okay.

01:45And, you know, Booney's a really good manager.

01:47That's unacceptable in New York, Joe.

01:49It is.

01:51Well, it's only unacceptable because it is the Yankees.

01:54But in reality, and I think Cashman nailed it there, and we've talked about it a lot,

02:00is that, okay, the grass is greener on the other side.

02:04Who do you think you're rolling into that market and that team that you might not?

02:10Because once you pull that trigger, you better pray it's the next Joe Torrey.

02:15You better pray that it doesn't blow up in two years and you have to do the same process

02:21over and over.

02:22Nothing.

02:23And the bottom line is, listen, he didn't put this team together.

02:26Cashman did.

02:27As long as he hasn't lost the locker room, which it appears he has not, then there's

02:33nothing to discuss.

02:34You're going to go with what you know will work.

02:36You have a roster issue.

02:38You don't have a manager issue.

02:40You have an execution issue that has very little to do with Aaron Boone.

02:45So I'm with him.

02:46Like, if it ain't broke, Donnie, you know, what's broke has nothing to do with the guy

02:50filling out the lineup card.

02:52It has everything to do with the guy that was at the podium there.
