    Ehh, the source is Pete Abraham. Color me skeptical.

    I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd, when they said "sit down" I stood up.

      Yeah, I read that story expecting some snide Cadhman quote but there was nothing from him. Only some glowing lip service from Hal about how wonderful Boone is . The part about Boone being on the hot seat is Abraham speculation, nothing more

      You wanna know what? You gotta problem with Luis Cessa, you gotta problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate

        Exactly. Who hired Boone? Who just extended Boone? Who assembled this roster? Who has full control over this farm system. Oh right. Not Boone.

          Yeah and it's dumb speculation to boot. They didn't just hand him a 3-year contract to fire him on Memorial Day if the Yankees are struggling.

            An NJ.com article that cites a Boston Globe article which is just speculation from a Sox beat reporter...I didn't think it was possible for me to trust anything less than Post articles but they've managed it with this one.

              "Today, the Yankees made the following roster moves: • Selected RHP David McKay to the 40-man roster and optioned him to Triple-A SWB. • Placed RHP Stephen Ridings on the 60-day injured list with right shoulder impingement. The Yankees’ 40-man roster stands at 40."

              Shame about Ridings, although it was to be expected with how little news we were hearing about him. Hope he can recover soon - he was one of our most impressive bullpen arms last year - but shoulder injuries generally aren't great signs especially for a guy who throws as hard as he does. They still need a spot for Gonzalez, so there's presumably another roster move to come.

                This.
                They're thrilled with him. He did exactly what Cashman said to do, without question. He rested hot players with an off day following. He even rested players after off days. He played Gardy every day. He said all the right things.

                And Cashman has convinced Hal they're doing great.

                Q: Who’s the guy on your roster that would have been overlooked if not for analytics? Cashman: Ronald Torreyes. He’s an analytical darling.

                  So will it be the 2022 Regular Season thread or the 2022 Season thread ?

                  I think they’re a lock for the playoffs though.

                    I don’t have a high opinion of Boone, but in fairness to him I don’t think he has much autonomy even in game, let alone roster construction like you said. I don’t think he has full agency to set lineups, decide when guys have days off or even make independent bullpen decisions.
