Story summary

Jorge Posada, a former long-time Yankees player, recently expressed feeling unwelcome around the team on "The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman." This sentiment stems from Posada's perception of how the Yankees managed his decline as a player, including being reduced to designated hitter (DH) and part-timer roles. The article notes that Posada is not alone in having a difficult departure from the franchise; other players like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Brett Gardner also had strained endings with the Yankees due to contract issues or perceived lack of respect for their contributions. The piece emphasizes understanding Posada's passion and care for the team despite his criticism, suggesting that it reflects a common experience among long-serving stars who feel they deserve more from the organization as they age.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
