"Yoshinobu Yamamoto: The Pitcher Every Team Needs"

The New York Yankees are in fierce competition with several other teams, including the Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox, and Phillies, to sign Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Yankees have met with Yamamoto twice and are impressed not only by his pitching skills but also by his character. Meanwhile, the team's long-standing facial hair policy is being criticized by some, who believe it could cost them talented players. Former Yankee Gary Sheffield is entering his final season of eligibility for the Hall of Fame, but it is unlikely he will receive the necessary votes. Additionally, former Yankees hitting coach Dillon Lawson has been hired by the rival Red Sox as a hitting coordinator, focusing on working with upper-level minor leaguers.

Yankees' Controversial Coaching Moves Spark Backlash and Surprising Hire

WFAN radio host Mike Francesa criticizes New York Yankees' decision to fire hitting coach Dillon Lawson, calling it scapegoating and placing the blame on general manager Brian Cashman for the team's offensive struggles. Francesa argues that the roster construction and lack of strong left-handed hitting are the real issues, pointing out the poor performance of Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton in the absence of Aaron Judge. The Yankees' offensive stats have been below expectations, ranking low in batting average, on-base percentage, and runs. Francesa suggests that acquiring better hitters is the solution rather than changing the batting instructor.

Yankees Replace Hitting Coach Dillon Lawson with Sean Casey: Report

The New York Yankees have hired Sean Casey as their new hitting coach, replacing Dillon Lawson who was fired after the team's loss to the Cubs. Casey, a former MLB player and analyst, brings a different approach to the role compared to Lawson, who was analytically focused. The Yankees hope that Casey's experience and ability to communicate with veterans will help improve the team's struggling offense. Lawson's firing was prompted by the underperformance of several key players and the team's overall offensive struggles. This is the first time in General Manager Brian Cashman's tenure that the Yankees have fired a coach during the season.

"Yankees' Manager Aaron Boone Under Scrutiny Following Dillon Lawson's Dismissal: 4 Burning Questions"

The New York Yankees fired hitting coach Dillon Lawson in an effort to shake up their struggling offense. General manager Brian Cashman acknowledged the team's underwhelming performance and expressed the need for a new voice in the hitting coach position. The move raises questions about manager Aaron Boone's job security, as the pressure mounts for him to turn the team's performance around. The Yankees' next hitting coach will likely come from outside the organization and will need to bring legitimacy and name recognition to the role. The firing of Lawson reflects the poor lineup construction and teamwide approach that have contributed to the Yankees' offensive struggles. External improvements to the lineup may be challenging to make at the trade deadline, leaving the team to explore internal options and potential roster changes.
