He didn't want to talk to A-Rod about resigning after he opt-out of his contract...overruled! The contract Tex got was too long for him and he said so...over-ruled! Cashman told Jeter to go out a check what the going contract is for a 37/38 year old SS, then come back and we will talk...overruled!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-80767438925232354212014-10-10T17:46:31.013-04:002014-10-10T17:46:31.013-04:00We'll never get the whole story. Kelleher may ...We'll never get the whole story. Kelleher may have said he didn't want to come back. Makes you wonder why he signed a one year deal while the other coaches signed multi-year deals. I agree that Thomson should go though.<br /><br />Long should share in the blame but not take all the blame, I also agree with you on that. It is the coaches job to get the best out of his talent he is working with and Long wasn't doing that. I went over a post this season where almost every Yankee had down seasons the last two years. Sure you can blame Beltran's down year on an injury but what about McCann and Ellsbury? You know?<br /><br />If anything the Long firing can break the monotony and re-energize some. I'm sure Derek Jeter wasn't the only one who had problems with his approach and teachings.

While the team hasn't hit well in the past two years, you could chalk that up to a lower talent level than previous years. But I'm not broken up about it.<br /><br />And when it comes to Cashman I'm totally cool with his return. Nobody knows this team like Cash does. I just hope he doesn't try and throw money at free agents again this season.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.com
