Jeff Passan breaks down the allegations surrounding Dodgers owner Mark Walter

Let's say Aaron Boone doesn't return after 2027. Who are some realistic names you'd want the Yankees to target? And who do you think they actually will target?

We have officially entered the time of year where being outside in NYC after 6 PM feels like death. Can't wait til it becomes 5 PM in a couple weeks

Same Yankees press conference as always. If you were expecting fireworks or change, idk what to tell you. They're pinning the 2026 failures on the offense. I don't expect them to add new bats until after the lockout. They BETTER put their money where their mouths are after.

Starting to get really tired of hearing the Yankees talk about the clubhouse as a strength year after year after they fall short again. No one cares how well you get along if you don't win.

Yankees need to at least give it a shot and see how it looks. It can't be that Rice and Garcia are among the best hitters but hard to get in the lineup together. Yankees prioritized defense after 2024, but the pendulum is swinging back now. Offense needs to be priority #1.

Yankees reporters have asked some pretty damn good questions this morning. Good on them. Sherman in particular isn't holding back with Boone

Cashman's biggest crashout and defense of the team was after the miserable 2023 season. They traded for Juan Soto a few weeks later. Fans can (and should) get pissed off at the non-answers. Ultimately, the team can only win them back by actually improving. And they BETTER.

If the Yankees are serious about improving the offense, then it's gotta mean a total overhaul. They got underwhelming offense all year from catcher, second base, shortstop, third base and center field. That's not gonna be solved with in-house solutions or defense-first adds.

My main takeaway from this presser is the Yankees are gonna place the blame for this season on the offense more than anything else- frankly, as they should. Makes me think Rowson might be out. Ultimately, it's go time for Cashman to improve the lineup. Zero excuses.

They were the worst offense in baseball without Aaron Judge in the summer and then stunk without Judge in the playoffs. There's plenty of blame to go around for the players, but I'm not sure I'd pin it ENTIRELY there.

Anyone who's surprised at this point was kidding themselves

Here lies the "nobody from the Yankees after George Steinbrenner died has said World Series or bust" narrative

Any potential Yankees injury news we need to keep an eye out for today? Obviously Judge updates is a big one. Last year's press conference was when they casually told us Rodon could barely lift his arm in the playoffs and was gonna be out to start 2026

Happy "we're confident in our process and believe in our team" day to all Yankees fans out there

Highly recommended listen. Nuanced, balanced conversations regarding the Middle East are impossible to find nowadays, but Haviv does it better than anyone. Shoutout to The Breakfast Club for giving him a chance to share his perspective

Why is the NBA season tipping off at 3 PM on a Tuesday?

Some questions I would ask at the Yankees end of season press conference: Yankees fans are growing tired of the lineup falling short every year in the playoffs as the organization insists on standing by its tried and true practices. What do you say to the growing feeling of resentment from fans who are watching the same movie over and over? We are in the tail end of Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole's contracts and entering the tail end of Aaron Judge's. Does the organization comprehend what a failure it is that none of these three have won a ring, despite all the money spent, regular season success and weak American League competition? You've shuffled the personnel year after year, and yet still suffered similar outcomes with the same weaknesses costing you in the playoffs. Who does that fall on? What is being done to address it? Why did you expect a different result from 2025 if the only players you added were depth pieces and platoons?

Couldn't face the press in person? Really?

Alright so when is this Cashman/Boone postmortem press conference? Season ended 13 days ago and it's still radio silence
