New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman didn’t dance around his feelings for the 2023 season. 

"It’s been a disaster," he told reporters, via SNY.tv, on Wednesday while his team is mired in a nine-game losing streak, the longest the franchise has experienced since 1982. 

"It’s definitely a shock. Certainly, I don’t think anybody on our side of the fence, from our player group, from our coaches, from our manager, or even outside the organization, would’ve predicted this."

The Yankees entered play against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday with a 60-65 record, sitting in dead last place in the AL East — the division they won last year with a 99-63 record. And FanGraphs officially had them with a 0.0% chance to win the World Series this year, as their playoff hopes are all but mathematically non-existent.

Simply put, the Yankees, a team many believed would at least receive a postseason berth in the American League this season with the second-largest payroll in MLB only smaller than the New York Mets, have been one of the league’s biggest failures. 

Cashman said he is seeing the "fight" and "care" from the players in terms of their effort when they are on the field, but sports is a results-oriented business. No matter the effort, the record says it all.
