It is, but in the case of the Yankees we’re talking about a team that has 4 playoff series wins in the past 23 years when not facing Cleveland or Minnesota (2003 vs Boston which is entirely the fault of Grady Little in game 7, 2009 vs Anaheim & Philadelphia, and 2012 vs Baltimore). 2-11 in that span vs Houston, Boston, Detroit, and Anaheim. They chose to cut corners even when they didn’t have to at first base, shortstop, catcher, centerfield, and left field and it’s burning them. They have 6 homers in 12 playoff games not including Soto or Stanton. That’s not ok from anyone. They haven’t gotten a home run from first base since July and have rolled out nothing but stopgaps at first base for 8 years now. They’ve not gotten 1 homer from shortstop in the past 61 games while the guy they passed on 3 all stars for has hit roughly .200 with a .250 obp in that span. They have a career second baseman/centerfielder playing third base, which he’s never done in his life because they had to trade for anyone they could find at the deadline since they had by far the worst production in baseball at third base since they bet on a guy in his mid 30’s who’d been bad and hurt for 3 years straight to come back and be productive. It’s not this year specifically but in 2021 for example they went into the year with 0 lefty bats on the roster despite the stadium they play in favoring lefty hitters and 3 projected starters all coming off multi year absences with injuries to their throwing arm, with 2 of them coming off Tommy John surgery.
These are all major signs of dysfunction in the organization and that the front office needs to be scrubbed. That they won’t do so means something is seriously wrong with ownership.
