Why Can't The New York Yankees Be More Like The New York Giants?

God help me but I couldn’t help myself with this headline. If you are reading this and scratching your head, I’m sorry. If you know exactly why I wrote it, you are a true Yankees and Giants fans. On Monday, January 10, 2022, the NY Giants sent their General Manager, Dave Gettleman packing on an “early” retirement citing their disappointment with the team’s performance on the field. On Tuesday, January 11, 2022, the NY Giants showed Joe Judge the door with the sentiments that they did not see any improvement in team, instead saw a decline. It sounds like The Odd Couple, and it turned out to be so, but at least the organization acknowledged the need for change.

The ownership stated, “It is an understatement to say John and I are disappointed by the lack of success we have had on the field. We are united in our commitment to find a general manager who will provide the direction necessary for us to achieve the on-field performance and results we all expect,” reported ESPN. Why can’t the Yankees be more like the Giants and actually make moves to improve?

The 2021-2022 MLB offseason has been defined by fast and furious transactions, juxtaposed with a screeching halt of activity due to a lockout that looks to poison the beginning of spring training. Word on the street is that the two sides are coming together on Thursday, but at this point it is unclear if the two sides can come to an agreement in time for the start of spring training in mid-February. If you’re a Yankee fan, and clearly you are if you are reading this, you’re likely feeling excluded from this year’s transactions as well as let down by the Yankee management who has done nothing to support competing for a championship in 2022. So maybe the lockout is a welcome delay to what is yet to come; same disappointing team, different season.

“The Yankees have nary made a major move, happy to sit out the historic November shopping frenzy in favor of rejiggering their coaching staff and signing the occasional minor league deal. The club’s silence is at odds with their stated intentions prior to the offseason, and has left many of us confused as to why Brian Cashman and Co. suddenly froze when the rest of the sport sprang into action,” reported SB Nation. And even more difficult to swallow is the failure to acknowledge what the NY Giants have: the performance over the last few seasons have been embarrassing and it is time for a change in leadership. And to add insult to injury, we as fans have had to suffer with this lackluster offseason prior to December 2nd’s surging halt. The silence was deafening, even prior to the lockout.

“While the Yankees did make the playoffs this season, Boone represents a milquetoast embodiment of accepting the status quo, which extends to how the Yankees have approached free agency this offseason: no big, game-changing signings that would push this team over the edge in the AL East. If anything, the Mets are the NYC team able to pull off big moves in the offseason, not the Yankees,” reported Fansided.

Just when Giant fans lost the will, the organization stepped up and acknowledged the deficient leadership and did something about it. Where are you Hal Steinbrenner? What rock are you under? Why not take a page from the NY Giants play book and do something? Because as it stands now, the winningest franchise in sports seems complacent with mediocre with no will to do anything about it.
