00:00bob what was your takeaway on the yankees extending brian cashman but not extending
00:07aaron boone and bringing him back for one more season so he can close out his contract for 2027
00:14first start with cashman and why cashman was given a contract extension yeah i mean they've
00:22never had a losing record under them they trust them uh yeah doesn't ruffle any feathers with
00:28ownership so it's just a uh a comfortable feeling for them with boone i think it's just a uh a
00:34deal
00:34where they're saying hey you better win next year or else you're on the hot seat and uh you know
00:39lame
00:40duck manager sort of thing we'll see what happens and uh it just shows you that they're not sold on
00:46him uh that they probably did consider letting him go and finding someone else inside let's get one
00:51more chance wait you know when you when you listen to hal talking hal steinbrenner the other day about
00:59cashman and and boone he was actually making excuses saying that boone he thought did a great job of
01:06managing the team and cashman has been there now 28 years if i'm not mistaken i mean bob where where
01:13where are the yankees going with these two guys i mean if you're in your opinion is it the right
01:18move
01:19to bring both guys back yeah i mean they did have a lot of injuries they didn't have what the
01:25third
01:25best record in the league i i thought that boone deserved one more year to show what he can do
01:30and then uh they got to win and i think with with cashman they're saying hey we got some big
01:35contracts
01:35here uh you know we got to win tampa bay rays are winning with a you know less than a
01:41hundred million
01:41dollar payroll you know we don't have to go over 300 million dollars you know you better win too
01:46but they trust them enough to believe in the process like okay it's going to take some time
01:50and with the new cba you know maybe they're going to have no choice they're going to have to cut
01:54payroll
01:55so i think that's why you know and they they love cashman he's been there forever like you said
02:00and they were never going to part ways with him they'd have to have a miserable two or three year
02:04stretch uh and not make the playoffs probably for him to be bounced
02:09so
