Yankees manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman give their year-end post-mortem, offering a fiery and defensive account of the 2025 season. Boone admits the team was "beat" by the Blue Jays and laments that the team "hasn't outplayed" opponents in October. Cashman then steps in to address the growing injury list, revealing Anthony Volpe's shoulder surgery was "more severe" than anticipated, forcing him to miss the start of 2026, and that Carlos Rodón will be late due to an elbow clean-up. They defend Volpe's struggles, discuss the staff firings of Mike Harkey and Travis Chapman, and outline the "business as usual" approach to securing a championship, with Cashman declaring the team was a "prizefighter" that got "knocked out."
