Where?

Bronx New York!

I came up in an organization that made changes in-season constantly. It's not something I've gravitated to in my tenure as general manager,”But at the same time, when you feel like you have to do that, then you do it and you face it, full-bore.”

Dillon Lawson’s replacement will come from outside the organization, and that assistant hitting coaches Casey Dykes and Brad Wilkerson will remain on staff in their current roles.

The lead hitting coach position has not yet been offered to anyone as he he has been assembling an internal list of candidates. Cashman intends to announce a hire before the Yankees open the second half of the regular season on Friday at Colorado.

“There's an opportunity here,”“I believe that we do have more than capable players to find higher ground than we found in the first half. I'm looking for a unique personality that will blend and connect with that group of players, as well as some of the players that I currently have on the injured list.”

Since I've been here, we've had pretty consistently high levels of offensive production,” Cashman said. “This year has been a completely different story. Ultimately, the end results are not that Yankees DNA that we're used to seeing.”

Offensively New York the team that wears the pinstripes numbers have taken an even more significant hit since Aaron Judge was lost to a right big toe sprain. They are 14-17 since Aaron Judge who is captain of New York of the team that wears the pinstripes crashed into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium on June 3, owning the lowest batting average (.218), lowest on-base percentage (.288) and third-fewest runs (117) in the Majors over that span.

“I wanted to give things a chance to work its way through, but I feel honestly at this point, it's not going to improve -- at least as it sitst doesn't mean the offense couldn't have gotten better organically, but I feel like we'll be better served with a new messenger.”

I don't think that Dillon can't be a Major League coach with consistent success,”“I think this is part of the growing process and the learning curve. We still think the world of him and we know what his capabilities are, but I just think at this time and place, we’re best served moving forward with a change.”
