Yankees general manager Brian Cashman spoke to reporters on Tuesday, during which he defended the direction of the team and addressed some other topics in what turned into a rather fiery press conference from the 56-year-old.
Among the topics broached by Cashman on Tuesday was the narrative that New York is an analytics-oriented franchise, something the GM was adamant to push back on.
“People talk about we’re analytically driven, right? We had the smallest analytics department in the American League East... we had the largest pro scouting department in all of baseball...” said Cashman, via SNY. “No one’s doing their deep dives. They’re just throwing their ammunition and their bullsh--, and accusing of us being run analytically.”
