The Yankees’ end-of-year press conference was a masterclass in saying nothing and learning nothing. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carranante break down Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman’s latest round of baffling quotes, injury revelations, and excuses — and what it all means for 2026.

Key discussion points:

⚾ Anthony Volpe’s surgery — out until May, and the Yankees made him play through it anyway

⚾ Boone vs Cashman: who “protected” Volpe, and who threw him under the bus?

⚾ Carlos Rodón’s elbow procedure — confirms what we all saw in September

⚾ No Cole, no Clarke Schmidt, Rodón behind schedule: the rotation crisis is already here

⚾ Boone’s worst quote yet: “In certain years, probably one of the best clubs…” 😬

⚾ What this means for reinforcements — Quintana, Merrill Kelly, or something bigger?

💬 Comment below: Did Boone or Cashman say anything that gave you hope?
