Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner and General Manager Brian Cashman recently addressed the team's 2024 performance and future plans. Steinbrenner confirmed that the Yankees are not being audited, but are working with an outside firm to improve analytics. He also dismissed claims about Aaron Boone's reliance on analytics for managerial decisions and confirmed Boone's return in 2024. Steinbrenner highlighted the team's plans to increase bunting and their active approach to free agency. Cashman echoed these sentiments, stating the team's need for two left-handed outfielders and the necessity to resolve the Peraza/Torres situation. He also expressed confidence in the team's abilities, despite criticism about Anthony Volpe's offense and the need to get Giancarlo Stanton 'up and running'. Despite a disappointing 2024 season, both Steinbrenner and Cashman are optimistic about the team's future.
