A month ago, I restarted the Pinstripe Alley tradition of running monthly approval polls on Brian Cashman. This season figures to be a big one for the Yankees’ general manager, as it’s now been 11 years since the team’s last World Series win, and after making it to Game 6 of the ALCS in 2019, they regressed slightly to a tough five-game ALDS loss against the division rival Rays in 2020.
January saw the Yankees re-sign DJ LeMahieu, bid adieu to Masahiro Tanaka and Adam Ottavino, and bring Corey Kluber, Jameson Taillon, and Darren O’Day into the fold.
