Hal's Latest Luxury Tax Lament: Stop Crying, Start Winning!
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Tue Nov 25 2025
Description: BT & Sal aggressively debate Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner's priorities following his recent comments. Sal argues that Hal focuses too much on the "business" of the Yankees and his constant complaints about the luxury tax are just "excuses" fans don't want to hear. Tierney agrees, noting that while Hal has brought stability, the organization's "stale" leadership (Cashman and others) needs to be held accountable for years of underachievement. The hosts insist Hal must choose: either spend more to compensate for poor player development and roster construction, or fire the people who consistently fail to build a championship team. They contrast Hal's acceptance of 90-win seasons with the high standards set by his father and, across town, by Steve Cohen.
