The Yankees made it all the way to the World Series last season, but their defense—both infield and outfield—was a glaring weakness that ultimately cost them.
General manager Brian Cashman didn’t mince words when addressing the issue on Friday, making it clear that the team’s defensive inefficiencies were a major concern and something they needed to fix heading into 2025.
“I thought we were bad defensively. We tried to deal with it. Our work product was able to get us into the World Series but not win the World Series. Hopefully, this version is a little bit different,” Cashman said.
