It is a bad time to be one of the Yankees’ nerds.
We have more details — but not many — on the upcoming third-party audit of the Yankees that owner Hal Steinbrenner has commissioned. We still do not know who exactly will be doing the auditing. But the scope of the endeavor is a bit more fleshed out.
[T]he investigation will begin in early October, although interestingly, the company conducting the audit will not recommend personnel changes. The analysis will instead focus on process and how the Yankees compare to other clubs.
