Agreed. His contract is up at the end of this season, and many fans think, if the Yanks don’t have a deep playoff run, he will be let go.
That’s how sports is. If managers and coaches don’t produce results, changes are made. I haven’t followed too closely, but apparently the Yankees have some great talent on that team, but will have to survive the one game wild card playoffs to advance, not even winning their division this year.
I’ve heard some fans lament, that it’s too bad you can’t fire the owner, and some owners such as Dan Snyder of the Washington former Redskins is disliked by many of their fans.
It seems like the changes in modern baseball have made the manager one of the most inconsequential people inside a MLB organization. Do these guys even have any discretion over in-game decisions anymore?
