Yankees GM Brian Cashman feels bad Masahiro Tanaka lost a ring to cheaters — and doesn’t rule out him coming back in the future.
Every Yankees fan (well, unless you write for the New York Times) was deeply satisfied with Masahiro Tanaka’s seven-year tenure in pinstripes.
Unfortunately, though the playoff-dominant righty lived up to expectations, the rest of the world conspired against him receiving the hardware he’d earned.
Tanaka could’ve closed both 2017 and 2019 with American League championships and potential World Series rings, if the fates allowed.
