With the Yankees within the midst of a seven-game shedding streak, Aaron Boone mentioned Sunday that he met with Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner a few days in the past.
The three mentioned particular person gamers and the state of the staff. Entering Sunday’s sequence finale in opposition to the Red Sox, the Yankees have been three video games beneath .500 and eight video games out of the final wild card spot with 39 video games left within the season.
“We understand we’re in a tough spot and it’s not going well,” Boone mentioned. “We’re in the business of trying to fix it and trying to [ask], ‘What are the best moves moving forward for us to try and get us on track?’”
Boone added that he checks in with Cashman every day and that he meets with Steinbrenner “fairly regularly throughout the year” whether or not issues are going effectively or poorly.
Lately, issues have gone poorly. Which is why prospects have additionally come up in these conversations between the three. Boone mentioned “it’s possible” the staff promotes some farmhands earlier than Sept. 1, which is when rosters increase, and that there would probably be extra discussions about that on Sunday.
Outfielder Everson Pereira, infielder Oswald Peraza and catcher Austin Wells determine to be the primary in line if the Yankees begin turning to children.
“Anything’s on the table right now,” Boone mentioned.
ONE YEAR LATER
Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of Boone forcefully slamming his hand on a desk throughout a press convention. At the time, the Yankees have been in first place. But they have been additionally 12-25 over their final 37 video games and so they had scored simply 21 runs of their final 11 video games.
“It’s right in front of us,” Boone mentioned in anger. He additionally mentioned, “We got the dudes in there to do it,” “We gotta do better,” and “We get to write the script.”
Those quotes ought to sound acquainted. Boone has repeated them — or some variation of the traces — all through this far-worse season. Much like Boone and his phrases, little has modified with the Yankees’ efficiency since that fiery presser.
Entering Sunday, the Yankees have been 86-79 since then, and that’s not together with the 2022 playoffs, which noticed the Astros sweep the Yankees within the ALCS. The Yankees, who ran it again with a really comparable staff this season, have been additionally 110-110 of their final 220 video games.
So when Boone continues to say issues concerning the 2023 Yankees that insist a turnaround is coming, it’s arduous to disregard the ever-growing, contradicting pattern measurement.

And then the last couple of days, he’s been just in and out of that timing a little bit. That always is the thing with every hitter, but especially with Big G.”
