Yankees general manager Brian Cashman sat in front of the microphone and fielded questions for the first time Monday since the team began its August skid that has seen their American League East lead cut nearly in half.
But Cashman stood behind the club and manager Aaron Boone in a pregame press conference before the Yankees took on the Mets in the second Subway Series of the season.
“The group has my belief,” Cashman said. “I believe strongly in them and I think they are still capable of everything we’ve ever hoped and dreamed, but we have to weather the storm first and foremost.”
