When is Cashman up?1@BryanHoch Aaaaaaaand a swing and a miss! When is Cashman up?The Yankees traded starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery, a curious move considering their lack of depth at that position. If they hoped to acquire another one before the deadline, that plan failed.Richie Mason@richiemason17@BryanHoch So they screwed up and we lost a SP31@BryanHoch So they screwed up and we lost a SPThis is one of the first major mistakes made by the New York Yankees this season. With the best record in the MLB, and Aaron Judge having a historic year, their fans have had plenty of reasons to celebrate. Failing to acquire new starting pitchers has put a damper on their once-high World Series hopes. It has also generated a lack of faith in the front office.Paige🐢@_BattaGirlThis is literally the dumbest thing Cashman’s ever admitted to 🤦🏻‍♀️ twitter.com/bryanhoch/stat…Bryan Hoch@BryanHochBrian Cashman said that the #Yankees were still working on pitchers & position players when the deadline hit at 6 p.m."We went down swinging at the very end with a lot of different concepts."231Brian Cashman said that the #Yankees were still working on pitchers & position players when the deadline hit at 6 p.m."We went down swinging at the very end with a lot of different concepts."This is literally the dumbest thing Cashman’s ever admitted to 🤦🏻‍♀️ twitter.com/bryanhoch/stat…Non Bunnary@nut_bunniesSee this is loser shit.

Thankfully for them, they are still arguably the best team in the MLB.The New York Yankees are in 'championship-or-bust' mode2022 T-Mobile Home Run DerbyDespite having more wins than any team in the MLB so far, Yankees fans will consider this season a failure if they do not win a championship.
