Steinbrenner blames Yankees players for lack of World Series title, defends Boone and Cashman
- On Wednesday, New York Yankees principal owner Hal Steinbrenner defended manager Aaron Boone and confirmed general manager Brian Cashman has agreed to a contract extension following the team's postseason elimination.
- Steinbrenner attributed the team's early postseason elimination to player performance rather than management, stating, "the players didn't live up to their end of the bargain in the playoffs."
- Boone, a 53-year-old former third baseman, finished his ninth season leading New York to a 790-565 regular-season record and three American League East division titles, though his postseason record stands at 27-30.
- Cashman, who turns 60 in July, has served as general manager since 1998 and is the longest-tenured head of baseball operations in the major leagues, working under Steinbrenner since 2008.
- New York currently faces a 17-season World Series title drought, matching the franchise's longest gap between championships since 1923, including the period between 1978 and 1996.
