"The Grading System is BROKEN: Why Malusis Thinks Boone is Safe (And Why Fans Should Be Livid)
Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Mon Dec 22 2025
Description: In this heated segment, Marc Malusis validates the "championship or bust" frustration of the Yankee faithful while delivering a sobering reality check on the modern MLB. Malusis acknowledges the tactical blunders—specifically the questionable use of Nestor Cortes in the World Series and the failed Devin Williams experiment—but argues that the issue is systemic. He asserts that the Yankees no longer grade their season on rings alone, instead valuing Boone’s ability to manage massive egos and navigate an analytics-heavy front office. While Malusis admits he wants more than just "competitive" seasons, he explains that in 2025, Boone is exactly the type of "player-first" manager the organization refuses to move on from, regardless of the postseason results.
