[新聞] Push for Wandy was by Ownership, Not Cashman

[stonemonkey (ネギ)]

A “major-league source” told Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports that the push to try

to trade for Wandy Rodriguez yesterday came from ownership and not Cashman.


Fortunately for the Yankees the two sides couldn't come to an agreement over

money and a deal feel through.


However this is more evidence of a disturbing trend, Cashman may not have the

full authority that he once had. The reason why this is a bad trend, even if

you don't like Cashman, is that every time ownership or the front office steps

in they only make things worse. Alex Rodriguez opts out, give him $300 million.

Derek Jeter doesn't like three-year $30 million offer, give him four and $54M.

Rafael Soriano, yes bring him in for three times what any other team is

offering him.



There was a day when Cashman was GM in name only, but a few years back he

wrestled more authority from an aging George Steinbrenner and Cash turned that

into a productive farm system and a 2009 World Series title. No he's not the

best GM in baseball by any stretch, but he is much better at his job when he is

left to do it. Too many times the front office and the ownership want to spend

money or make trades just to make trades or just to spend money.


This is a perfect example of that, Wandy Rodriguez is a decent pitcher, but he

is by no stretch obviously better than anything they already have.

If the prospects need to be traded it should be for someone who clearly

improves the team.


Cashman's contract is up at the end of the season. By all accounts he is happy

with the team and they are happy with him. However, this kind of thing is

happening more and more. At a certain point wouldn't he be happier going

somewhere else where he doesn't have to deal with all of this interference?

內文大概就說了換W-Rod是老板的主意,不關他的事

作者還鞭了A-rod的300M,Jeter的54M/4Y,以及去年簽了Sori

其他就大致上講了說現金人幫大老板時代一些農埸失血的政策擦屁股以及拿到09年的WS

最後講到今年合約滿了以後也許他應該到更能有自主權的球隊去??
