Angry Hal Steinbrenner won’t make ‘knee-jerk reaction’ with Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone
NY Post
Hal Steinbrenner admits the Yankees’ sluggish season has been “absolutely aggravating, maddening and tough to watch,” but he threw his support behind GM Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and the coaching staff Thursday in a wide-ranging call with reporters.
“Am I mad at what I see? Absolutely,” Steinbrenner said via Zoom as the Yankees’ afternoon game against the Angels was postponed due to inclement weather. ”I’m aggravated. Frustrated. Angry. But that’s not going to push me to a knee-jerk reaction to get rid of somebody.” Many of the fans that remained at Wednesday’s soggy ninth-inning giveaway loss to the Angels – with closer Aroldis Chapman giving up a game-tying grand slam in a seven-run inning – chanted for Boone to be fired. The $201 million Yanks are 41-39 and in fourth place in the American League East at essentially the season’s midway point, with five losses in their last six games, including being swept by the Red Sox over the weekend in Boston.
