Apropos of nothing in particular. Here are a few reasons why Zoom news conferences aren’t ideal, for those wondering:
- It’s the most impersonal set-up.
- It’s not always easy to ask follow-up questions.
- You don’t get the possibility — whether it happens or not — of talking to people on the side. Many questions throughout the season are NOT asked on camera, believe it or not.
- You don’t know if your subjects have talking points in front of them.
- They tend to feel cold or overly staged.
- You don’t get a sense of body language.
- It’s easier to end things suddenly.
- There’s always the possibility of WiFi or sound issues.
@YankeesFiles They’ve been getting drilled basically since they got eliminated. Kay, Sherman, Heyman, even some of the other beat writers got in on it. Calling for Boone’s head, calling for Cashman’s. Hal is getting heat as well
#Yankees, in 2026, spent:
- $10m on Aaron Hicks
- $15m on DJ LeMahieu
- $16m on Ryan McMahon
- $22m on Trent Grisham
That’s $63m not including the $19m for Stanton.
Thats $82m in effectively dead money
A breakdown of the Yankees’ payroll situation:
- How much $ is coming off the books
- Non-tender candidates
- QO decisions
- Arb-eligible players
- Aaron Hicks’ dead money is officially gone

@YankeesFiles Nothing of substance really and I get what you’re saying. It’s just annoying because they’re trying to wait out the media storm. They waited 3 weeks after the season ends, til the Knicks starts tonight and now doing a zoom call instead of facing the music in person
@YankeesFiles imo, at least in person it’s easier for a reporter to rebuke something they say or immediately follow up on a statement. I just think it’s harder to have that type of environment on a zoom call. Idk I’m trying to cope with where they are right now
