The New York Yankees had two major hires in the past week that could shift the direction of the franchise. The Yanks announced that they had hired former Giants GM Brian Sabean and former Mets GM Omar Minaya to senior advisor roles. Manaya will be advising baseball operations and Sabean will be advising the General Manager.
Both men have extensive backgrounds in scouting and bring the human element back to the front office. The Yankees have been criticized by their fans for their drastic approach to the game of baseball. Many believe that the team has become too analytical which has halted their progress.
