NEW YORK -- There's a chance that Hal Steinbrenner has been reading fans' comments and tweets. The Yankees' managing general partner said that he monitored the digital world in the hours following the club's Trade Deadline activity on Monday, and his sense is that the majority of the fan base seems legitimately excited about what could be on the way.
In a wide-ranging interview with Michael Kay on 1050 ESPN, Steinbrenner applauded the work done by general manager Brian Cashman and the Yankees' baseball operations department over the past several weeks, while also adding that he believes manager Joe Girardi has done the best he could with a roster that is about to receive an infusion of youth.
