There was an art to covering George Steinbrenner, and part of that was to assume nothing.
Had he changed his mind in two-plus weeks? Had more bad baseball shaken the logic and patience? Steinbrenner has taught me to not assume, especially with as large a personality as Cohen.
You might remember that after both the 2020 and 2021 season, Cohen had difficulty recruiting the best and brightest to run his baseball operations. There were many reasons the best candidates were often rejecting even an interview. I heard multiple forms that the book “Black Edge” was being widely circulated and that the unflattering portrait of Cohen running his hedge fund was reverberating.
It wasn’t until suspension removed Steinbrenner’s overbearing daily presence that Gene Michael fixed baseball operations, Buck Showalter fixed the clubhouse and all benefited from the wonderful farm system created by Bill Livesey and Brian Sabean. “All” included Steinbrenner when he returned — and the Yankees actually have had stability and persistent winning ever since.
