Red Sox’s Aggressive Move Prompts SF Giants’ Bold Firing, Yet Hal Steinbrenner’s Yankees Stay Silent

The 2023 season is ending with some hard lessons for a few teams. After the Boston Red Sox, the San Francisco Giants have followed the same path. Both teams are making some significant decisions to prepare for the next season. But the Giants’ recent announcement has surprised the fans. However, after the Giants’ decision came to light, what surprised the fans most was the silence of the New York Yankees.

While the Yankees had a catastrophic season this year, they are still indifferent about taking any steps. While other teams are trying to find out the reasons behind their failures and firing people they find responsible, Steinbrenner has done nothing until now. However, the SF Giants’ courageous decision after their playoff elimination proved that they don’t spare anyone, not even their own team.

The San Francisco Giants Bold Firing Announcement

Team management plays a significant role in a team’s success. Since the manager Gabe Kapler joined the Giants as a manager in 2020, the team qualified for the postseason only once in 2021. It was their best season, with 107 wins in the regular season. Although this year also started well for the team, the situation took a turn in the midseason, with their elimination as the final consequence. After the playoff elimination was confirmed, the team’s executive, Farhan Zaidi, along with the ownership, made a bold decision to fire the team manager, Gabe Kapler, on Friday.

After the firing decision was made, the following statement of Zaidi was circulated, “After making this recommendation to ownership and receiving their approval, I met with Gabe today to inform him of our decision.” Furthermore calling Gabe his colleague and freind, Zaidi continued, “He has been dedicated and passionate in his efforts to improve the on-field performance of the San Francisco Giants and I have tremendous respect for him as a colleague and friend.” 

While the Giants made this bold move after they got eliminated from the postseason, the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox had already brought similar changes in-season. The former fired their Chief Baseball Officer, Chaim Bloom, the latter dismissed their senior vice president and general manager, Rick Hahn.

Despite having had an equally disappointing season as the other two teams, the Yankees are choosing to remain silent about their further actions. It is still unclear who they find responsible for their consistent downfall. raise questions among Yankees fans about the accountability of Brain Cashman and Aaron Boone?

Will the New York Yankees fire Boone and Cashman?

Although the team is still reserved in nature to reveal any such firing as of present, the owner, Hal Steinbrenner, aims to find out where the billions he has spent on his team since 2009 has gone through an audit in October. The baseball faithful find the GM and manager of the team responsible for the downfall of the Yankees, keeping them from the World Series for 14 years. As per them, conducting a third-party audit is no less than a joke or other act of seeking attention. Moreover, they feel if the team won’t fire Aaron and Cashman, there’s no reason to have the audit.
