Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is atop our list of executives under the most pressure ahead of the trade deadline.
LOS ANGELES — One week, your team is being compared to the greatest of all-time. The next, you are contemplating just how many holes must be plugged between now and 6 p.m. on Aug. 2.
Cashman will be operating from a place of strength, because even with a dip, the Yankees still have the majors’ best record. Cashman will be maneuvering from an area of desperation, because going without a title in The Bronx since 2009 feels like something the James Webb Space Telescope has to focus upon to gauge just how long ago that is in Yankees years.
Those questions put Cashman atop our list of executives under the most pressure ahead of the trade deadline. The rest:N.Y. Post: Charles WenzelbergCashman’s longtime Yankees No. 2 is No. 2 behind him again. Steve Cohen already is supporting a nearly $300 million payroll with a willingness to go higher. The Mets owner has said he wants a championship within the first three years of his reign.
That being said, the Mets must upgrade those areas: for example, take out Pete Alonso’s strong 85 plate appearances, and the rest of the Mets’ DH slash line was .220/.298/.339 going into Saturday. So Josh Bell or C.J. Cron taking those at-bats, rather than J.D. Davis and Dom Smith, would be a big upgrade.
