This clip is devastating for the Yankees:
The short clip above says all Yankees fans need to know about the way the Yankees organization has been run in recent years and how it is being run today.
This is a huge culture problem with the Yankees. Jorge Posada doesn't feel welcome? (I asked this very question - Do the former greats not feel welcome? in 2025.)
This is a problem. It simply is. This cannot be pushed away with excuses. It simply cannot. There are far too many examples of this. It keeps coming out. But Posada said the quiet part out loud clearer than any other to date - "I don't feel welcome."
The Yankees used to build their winning tradition by bringing back their former greats. The current players would learn from them. Now the team pushes so many away. Winning, greatness, high expectations, and the like are not the driving forces for the Yankees.
Please note and remember also the articles I have written the last many years about so many Yankees greats not returning for Old Timer's Days. (See below for two of those articles.) I also wrote an article following the appearance of many Yankees champions at Fantastics Fest 2025 that drew similar conclusions.
This is an organizational problem that seems to stem from the very top. There are too many former players that keep saying the same type of things. We see this over and over and over.
The simple fact is that until the Yankees change their leadership culture, they will not be a winning franchise again.
Other Articles on this theme:
It would be really helpful to making improvements if the team would reach out to the players and compile a list of the things that have gone wrong. The simple answer might be the org attitude, but vagueness never fixes anything. What can the team actually start changing?
It starts with Hal, then Cashman, as noted and the Yankees talk a good game but the casual fans only care about showing up and watching a baseball game throughout the season.... now the die-hards have a much different perspective and know where to place the blame for this franchise being the ugly bridesmaid year in and year out. The expression ..... runs down hill seems appropriate when it involves past Yankee greats. If you are a contrarian then defending Yankee ownership and the front office is one's right but is it the "right" approach? I think not!
did Jorge leave on bad terms?
I seem to remember some bit of bother.
He's not the only one. Common denominator?
