PITTSBURGH — The Yankees have the best record in the majors, but Hal Steinbrenner has his eyes on a familiar foe. “We all need to be concerned about Houston,” the Yankees managing general partner s…
One thing Steinbrenner declined to address were the comments made by Astros owner Jim Crane, who took issue with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman saying this spring the scandal was “illegal and horrific. … The only thing that derailed us [from the 2017 World Series title] was a cheating circumstance that threw us off.”
Crane said in May he disapproved of Cashman still criticizing the World Series-winning Astros team because the Yankees were found to have made transgressions in previous years.“I did not respond,” Steinbrenner said. “This is history, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not gonna relive history. I’m looking forward, not backward. And I’m gonna be looking at the Astros. As has been pointed out, we’re probably gonna be playing them in some pretty big games.
Steinbrenner defended sitting out the free-agent shortstop class, praising the performance of Isiah Kiner-Falefa. “We knew Isiah would be a great defensive shortstop,’’ Steinbrenner said. “He’s lived up to the billing. To be a great team, Gene Michael used to say [you needed], ‘Defense up the middle.’ That’s something we definitely improved upon. I didn’t spend $300 million to do it, but I think most people are pretty happy with Isiah and the job he’s done.”
