Alex Rodriguez has surprising answer about what Yankees need most to end World Series drought
NY Post
Alex Rodriguez insists “there’s no bigger fan than me [of] the Yankees.”
But after slamming them for their poor roster construction following their playoff ouster in the ALDS, Rodriguez had a somewhat surprising answer on Monday when asked what the Yankees need to fix to get over the hump and win their first title since 2009.
“They just need some stability,” Rodriguez said at the premiere screening of the HBO documentary “ALEX vs. AROD,” which dives into the former Yankees slugger’s rise and fall through his complicated career.
“If you see a lot of the teams that do well in October, you see the same guys coming back. We lost in ’04, and it took five years with the same core to get it right. But if you switch everything out every year, it’s hard to get that continuity that you need. Continuity is synonymous with championships.”
Heading into the offseason, the Yankees do appear to be planning on largely running it back next year, with Aaron Boone set to return for his ninth season as manager and a core led by Aaron Judge. Brian Cashman, of course, will be in his 29th season as general manager next year.
Many of the supporting actors around Judge have changed over the years, but no combination yet has been able to bring a championship back to The Bronx.
