The 2020 season has been a difficult one for the New York Yankees. After a promising start to the season, the team has struggled to stay afloat in the standings and have been unable to make a deep run in the playoffs. Now, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman has labeled the season a “disaster”.
Cashman’s comments came after the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round by the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees had a strong regular season, finishing with a 33-27 record, but were unable to carry that momentum into the playoffs.
The team has been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with key players such as Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Luis Severino all missing significant time due to injury. This has made it difficult for the team to find any sort of consistency on the field.
The Yankees have also been hampered by inconsistent pitching. The team’s starting rotation has been unable to consistently provide quality innings, and the bullpen has been unreliable at times. This has led to some costly losses throughout the season.
Cashman’s comments come after a season of disappointment for the Yankees. Despite having a strong roster on paper, the team was unable to put it all together and make a deep run in the playoffs. This is a far cry from the expectations that were set for the team at the beginning of the season.
The Yankees will now look to regroup and rebound in 2021. With some key players returning from injury and some new additions to the roster, the team will hope to put together a more successful season next year. It remains to be seen if they can turn things around, but one thing is for sure: Brian Cashman’s assessment of this season is accurate.
