Tampa – Here is a thought experience that I have run Aaron Boone After Yankees The manager has finished addressing journalists Marcus Stroman Friday morning: What if Sny told me that I was no longer a writer, but the staff accountant? What if the Yankees told Boone that they now considered him a coach?
What if we both knew each other well enough to see these decisions as errors?
The fact is that we don’t prefer to say Stroman, As he did on Friday“I will not launch in the enclosure of the lifts. I am a starter, “What to lie and say that he was ready to do whatever his employer wanted?
“Yeah,” said Boone. “I don’t want someone to lie.”
He added Stroman’s comments, which came for almost six weeks before the Yankees finalized their April starting rotation: “It is not a hamburger for me at the moment. It is not relevant at the moment.
The reaction of knee fans when a player expresses a preference as Stroman did (or exercises a collectively right of negotiation to jump two training sessions in early spring), is often to criticize the player as selfish and rest with management. You know the line: we were playing this game for free, and this guy makes millions in fact and complains?
But the point of view of here shows at least two ways to see this: 1) it is honorable and ultimately rewarding to subjugate a greater or group cause (that is to say, go to the enclosure of Lifters if it helps the Yankees) or 2) people should get up for their belief in themselves and defend their personal interest.
There is enough gray zone in the situation of Stroman / Yankees to assert a reasonable argument for one of the above elements as our main to remember. Moreover, there is enough complexity in all of Stroman’s public life to see it in an innumerable and contradictory way.
Do I like him to lower my online profession several times, including Friday when he tweeted: “The noisiest speech of the smallest minds … The media just trying to make a story to start absolutely from Nothing?” Of course not. But we appreciate an honest answer to a direct question, like the one he gave earlier in the day.
And besides, the criticism of Stroman’s media is not always outside the base, as when he rightly called the Bob Brenly broadcaster in 2021 for having made a joke on his du-rag which had, like the ‘said Stroman, “racist connotations”. I just want him to immerse us all in this reactionary category. But we get out.
“I want players to be authentic and honest,” said Yankees Director General Brian Cashman said. “They should be allowed to have a platform to express their minds and share what they think. It is not an easy to perform platform. Most people do not have their work covered daily, with successes and failures or perceptions or opinions. And so I think it’s more difficult when you try to direct their opinions in the way you want them to be directed.
Cashman pointed out that I try to keep in mind in situations like this: how could I feel if my boss tried to attribute to a role in which I was not comfortable? How did I have been involved in these situations? Am I still a perfect team player? No, of course. Being human is to fight selfishness.
I can also understand why a ball player (as some would do in private), disapprove of Stroman’s decisions this week to withdraw two days from camp, then declare his reluctance to work as a lifter. Many of these guys take a real sense of the shot “there is no team”.
Another point expressed in private at the Yankees camp: after having manipulated his demotion to the enclosure of the readers last season with a supreme professionalism, even though it is not used throughout the season, why Stroman is He to give him negative attention, when he could have made his PFP with everyone and politely refused to discuss his status as a strange man in the team’s starting rotation?
Then there were the others, as Gerrit Cole And Max friedWho praised Stroman with hugs and smiles that were clearly authentic. People here like Stroman. Boone himself said: “I love Stro” – and he thought it.
As we have said: there are many ways to see this situation. Despite all his complexities, we cannot deny that Marcus Stroman, first as puts and then as Yankee, has always forced us to think.
