The Yankees have been mediocre for much of the second half, and as a wild-card game approaches, general manager Brian Cashman knows what’s at stake for the team he built with high expectations.
“I thought I saw a lot of good signs here in that last series [against Boston],” Cashman said. “We’ve gotten everybody back from the DL, and we’re hoping that we hit our stride and find our stride. I’m seeing certain characteristics that can get you excited because I think this team is capable and obviously we’ve got to finish things off in the regular season.
