Quick Summary

Greg Joyce discusses how the New York Yankees could address their issues for the upcoming season despite fan discontent over management decisions. While many fans criticize owner Hal Steinbrenner and manager Aaron Boone, Joyce suggests that Steinbrenner will likely prioritize continuity rather than making significant changes due to looming labor issues such as a potential player lockout starting December 1st, which would shorten spring training and impact the start of next season.

🔮 That makes me believe Hal will value continuity this particular offseason.
🔮 He should manage like his job is on the line, whether Hal Steinbrenner or Brian Cashman would actually push that lever or not if the Yankees lose yet another postseason series, in part because of the type of sloppiness that historically has reflected poorly on a manager.
🔮 Sign Up NowYet, they could not even muster a little — unless you are talking about how small they showed up Monday night beyond Ben Rice.
🔮 The Yankees will have to decide if they want to risk paying David Bednar and Jazz Chisholm Jr. $23.1 million next season, The Post has learned.
🔮 Wheeler, Jhoan Duran, Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott will enter their walk year in 2027.
🔮 Nothing will change as far as how the Yankees enjoy their best chance to join last year’s Knicks in forever.
🔮 Two key issues must be determined for the Mets to fully plot their pathway this offseason: 1. Will Bo Bichette pick up his $42 million player option for 2027? 2.
🔮 In the end, he went with his best — and the one that would cause the least second-guessing and noise.
🔮 So you see this fresh and, thus, remove fatigue or boredom or Dodgers hatred or whatever might come when the baseball miraculous is done too often in front of you, rendering it mundane.
🔮 I could get it if this was a high-minded defense of HIPAA rights.
