The New York Yankees recently held their end-of-season press conference, and fans were disappointed to hear more of the same from General Manager Brian Cashman. Cashman blamed a series of ill-timed injuries for their playoff disappointment.
The Yankees' season ended after being swept by the Houston Astros in the American League Championship Series. The Yankees in recent years have been great in the regular season before inevitably falling apart in the postseason.
Clearly, something different has to happen if this team wants to win a World Series. Hearing Cashman once again say that injuries were the cause of yet another playoff loss sounds more like an excuse than an explanation to most fans.

The comments from Cashman were shared on Twitter by user Michigan Yankees.
"This year's squad, we got depleted going into the postseason. We had a lot of injuries," Cashman said.
The Yankees did have to deal with some major injuries, notably to Andrew Benintendi and DJ LeMahieu. Without those two players, the Yankees offense was notably weaker than in the regular season. However, most teams in the MLB were dealing with injuries.
This is an excuse that the Yankees have made for years, and their fan base is sick of it.
Brian Cashman has been the general manager of the Yankees since 1998. In that time, he has built teams that have won four World Series. However, the last championship win was in 2009, well over a decade ago. Many Yankees fans believe his tenure should come to an end.
The New York Yankees' moves over the coming months will be critically important
Since the Yankees are seemingly bringing back Cashman and Aaron Boone, the expectation is that changes will be made to the lineup. All New York Yankees fans are hoping Aaron Judge will sign an extension and return to the team. Star additions to the roster are also a possibility in the form of Carlos Correa and Justin Verlander.
The Yankees' season ended in disappointment once again, and fans are hoping to see real change moving forward.
