It's been a week and a half since the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs and the general manager Brian Cashman has still not exceeded the milestone.
Not even close.
He is always frustrated and depressed to accept that his club is not as good as he thought.
The Yanks have won 100 regular season games, but the Red Sox won the division with 108 of their best MLB performances and then won their best game in five rounds.
Thus, the Yankees are forced to wait another year to add to their record 27 World Series titles, and for them, it seems much longer than ten years since their last victory in 2009.
"I thought we were going into the playoffs at the right time," Cashman said Wednesday during a radio interview with WFAN. "Then we hit Oakland and did what we did (in the Wild Card game), and I thought," Let's go. "Even leaving Fenway, where we gained the advantage of the field (in ALDS), we were returning to Yankee Stadium after splitting (Boston) .It was huge.
"But it did not work the way we wanted. … At the end of the day, you end up with a feeling of emptiness because you had a team that we thought was capable and unworthy for some reason.
"We need to study why we continue to try to attack the areas as best as possible with the available trade, the free agent market and the funds, and then see where it will take us."
A little at a time, Cashman provides some advice on what to expect from the Yankees, who could have a lot of changes in their lineup, which could well be an off-season with a class of free agents loaded including youngsters. superstars. Bryce Harper and Manny Machado, and perhaps Cy Young's three-time winner, Clayton Kershaw, who enjoys an opt-out in his contract.
Cashman revealed clues last week at Yankee Stadium when he and his manager Aaron Boone took turns doing long group interviews three days after the Red Sox playoff.

Pro scouting meetings set
Brian Cashman said all Yankees' post-season plans would be put in place at their upcoming screening meetings, which are now scheduled.
The Yankees office, coaching staff, professional scouts and analysts will meet at Yankee Stadium from Monday, October 22nd to Wednesday, October 24th.
There, the British will discuss at length what they have, what they need and what they would be comfortable spending for free agents and / or abandon their goals. commercial.
Once this is over, Cashman and the staff will meet with their Managing Partner, Hal Steinbrenner, to share their recommendations, and then wait for their owner to give them direction.
"I can not predict what we are going to do at the moment," Cashman said. "We are still in the early stages and we have not started our meetings yet. We then need to assess the true landscape in terms of available talent in the commercial market compared to those available in the free agent market. and position them correctly and then see what the acquisition costs. And it will take time.
"We will run the tires on every occasion and then see where and what we should do next."
