On Monday night, the YES Network aired a highly anticipated sit-down interview with Hal Steinbrenner. The Yankees owner addressed a variety of issues including the team’s 2018 campaign, as well as the organization’s offseason plans. Hot topics like the luxury tax threshold, free agent Manny Machado, and the decisions to bring back CC Sabathia and Brett Gardner stand out among the items discussed.
It’s worth noting that this interview was filmed before Machado issued a reply to the criticism stemming from his “Johnny Hustle” comments. Nonetheless, the material remains pertinent and gives Yankees fans some insight into the way the front office thinks.
