After a sweep by the Braves, the Yankees have lost 14 of their past 21 games -- and are under .500 for the first time this late in a season since 1995.
is more likely. But that's not even the worst part of this year's trajectory -- it could be the franchise's first losing record since 1992.of consecutive winning seasons is an astonishingly impressive achievement in the ultracompetitive business of modern sports. The New England Patriots under Bill Belichick had 19 consecutive winning seasons from 2001 through 2019. In the NBA, the longest active streak is a mere 12 seasons by, believe it or not, the LA Clippers.
Not surprisingly, a growing percentage of Yankees fans are not only calling for Boone to be fired but longtime general manager Brian Cashman as well. If the team does miss the playoffsfinishes with a losing record, Boone's seat no doubt will be hot, even though he has another year on his contract. That decision might rest more with managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner than Cashman. Who knows, Steinbrenner might not want to eat Boone's $2.75 million salary.
That's why fingers are also pointing in the direction of Cashman, the team's GM since February of 1998 . The Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2009, but let's be fair here: While falling short of a title, the Yankees have had success in recent seasons, winning 99 games in 2022, 103 in 2019 and 100 in 2018. They've reached three American League Championship Series since 2017, losing all three times to the Astros.
Still, the majority of Cashman's big decisions in recent years haven't worked out, even if many of them were defensible at the time. Consider:before the 2018 season. It was too tempting to resist pairing Stanton, coming off a 59-homer season with the Marlins, with Judge, coming off his 52-homer rookie season. Stanton had a 38-homer, 4.4-WAR season in 2018 but has produced less than 1.
