Yanks Front Office

George King just posted an article positing that they Yanks were more likely to fill the Denbo job, than they are to fill their managerial job.  And by the way, have any of you ever seen such a loaded team with so many job openings?  King reports that the Yanks have already interviewed Eric Schmidt, John Kremer, Kevin Reese and Carlos Mendoza.  Of those guys, Kremer comes from the Sports Science division and has great analytics cred.  The other guys seem a little more old school and that might be more appropriate for the player development job.  I do like that they are staying in house and don't seem interested in bringing in a disrtuptive outsider, or someone who has to be brought up to speed on Captain's Camp or no beards.

And of course they couldn't interview Dan Greenlee because Denbo swiped him.  That has got to stop.

Meanwhile, nobody is talking about Cashman's new deal, but with all the ideas around about modernizing the managerial post with a young analytical guy. What about modernizing the front office by making Cash President and someone like Naehring or Eric Chavez as GM?

I'd really like to see them grow the brain trust, and keep improving scouting and player development as they embark on their latest dynastic run.

Ken Rosenthal: #Yankees sent E-mail to every club today granting permission to contact their coaches for any job. Might need to build entirely new staff.

Yeah, I think they also asked permission to talk to coaching staffs. We have a lot of jobs to fill on a loaded team.

We need reporting on what exactly Levine does to keep his job. Is it even legal?

I don't think Cone would workout. He's a bit of a nut. Though maybe. Also think he's older than what they are looking for. PC, I could see, though he was a big time experimenter as a pitcher.

I have no idea what Levine does, he was a labor attorney during one of the strikes and caught the Boss's eye.

Looks like Kapler is getting the Philadelphia Phillies job.

Sure, does. So now I think it will be Josh Paul.
