The general manager was as honest as always in his end-of-the-season press conference
Brian Cashman is always honest. Usually, he’s brutally honest, even when he doesn’t have to be. His end-of-the-season press conference was no different.
The outfielder is once again injured and expected to miss regular-season games
In the most and least surprising news ever, Giancarlo Stanton is once again injured. The Yankees will be down two-thirds of their expected outfield to start the season.

The Yankees knew Luis Severino ended the season with a forearm injury, James Paxton with a back issue and Masahiro Tanaka needing bone spurs removed, and they still chose to not bolster their starting pitching.
The Yankees will be without their No. 2 starter for the entire 2020 season
The second Brian Cashman pointed to the spot on his own forearm where Luis Severino complained of pain while talking to reporters last week, I knew Luis Severino wouldn’t throw a pitch for the 2020 Yankees.
The Yankees are already down 40 percent of their starting rotation
It’s been a few days since the Yankees last reported an injury. The good news is there aren’t any new injuries. The bad news is Luis Severino and James Paxton are still injured.
