Yankees GM Brian Cashman Calls out Cheating Teams Amid World Series Drought: ‘They Cheated Us’

New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman is not one to mince words when it comes to defending his team. In a recent interview, Cashman dismissed the notion that the Yankees’ World Series drought is a result of their own shortcomings, instead placing the blame squarely on the teams that have defeated them.

“We have been close to winning it all multiple times in recent years, and each time we have been cheated out of our rightful victory,” Cashman asserted. “Whether it’s been questionable calls by umpires or opposing teams using underhanded tactics, the fact remains that we have been the victims of foul play.”

Cashman’s comments come as the Yankees have not won a World Series since 2009, despite consistently fielding competitive teams. The team has made the playoffs multiple times in recent years, only to fall short of capturing the championship.

While Cashman did not provide specific examples of how the Yankees have been cheated, he made it clear that he believes the team’s World Series drought is not a reflection of their abilities on the field.

“We have a talented roster and a dedicated coaching staff, and we will continue to strive for excellence on and off the field,” Cashman said. “But until the playing field is truly level, we will always have doubts about the legitimacy of our losses.”

As the Yankees gear up for another season, Cashman’s comments are sure to add fuel to the fire of their rivalry with other teams in the league. Only time will tell if the team can overcome the obstacles that Cashman believes have been holding them back and finally bring another championship to the Bronx.
