BREAKING NEWS : Yankees’ Brian Cashman finally speaks out on team’s recent collapse

The New York Yankees, who formerly led the American League East, have suddenly fallen three games behind the Baltimore Orioles and are only 4.5 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox, who are third. As the All-Star break approaches, the Yankees face an urgent need for wins.
The Yankees need to string together some victories before the All-Star break, but General Manager Brian Cashman will have a chance to address significant needs before the deadline in late July. While we could spend the entire day examining each individual player who is underperforming in the batting order, it is evident that some veterans are struggling to carry their weight and stay up. Focus on Gleyber Torres’ Struggles
Gleyber Torres stands out as one of the team’s most disappointing performers this season. The 27-year-old has everything to lose in a contract year, hitting.223/.397/.344, all career lows. Although he has the rest of the season to turn things around, if Cashman finds a quality second baseman who can provide superior defense, he should not be afraid to make a deal. Infield Challenges and Limited Options

Ideally, the Yankees would sign a new infielder before the deadline, but possibilities are limited. Currently, the Bombers rely on DJ LeMahieu to control the hot corner, and he’s hitting a pitiful.194/.288/.223. LeMahieu has been absolutely unproductive in terms of the team’s offensive contribution and represents more of More of a liability than anything else. GM Cashman addresses the team’s struggles.
Cashman finally talked to the media on Tuesday about the team’s recent meltdown, emphasizing that their good start has helped them endure this cold spell. He recognized that the downward trend has lasted longer than expected, indicating that he will be aggressive at the trade deadline in a few weeks. GM Cashman addresses the team’s struggles.

The team recently acquired JD Davis to provide support at first and third base, but he is only hitting.221/.293/.346 this year, with four homers and six RBIs. Cashman acknowledges that the team has “areas to improve upon” and will be “open-minded to a lot of different things.”
