Description: BT & Sal launch a fiery debate on the Yankees' enduring failure to win a championship, arguing that Hal Steinbrenner's business-first approach and continued lavish spending are actually making it easy for Brian Cashman to avoid accountability. They contend that the Yankees are not held to a true championship standard, with regular season wins merely being "fluff." Tierney breaks down the six levels of culpability, giving Hal a "pass" for cutting checks while placing the majority of the blame on Cashman for a lack of adaptation to the modern game, poor roster construction, and disastrous player development and international scouting. Sal argues that Hal lacks the "fire inside" of a competitive owner like George Steinbrenner or Steve Cohen, viewing the Yankees more as a "brand" than a passion play for winning.
