Spring is coming, so esteemed Yankee great Goose "Rich" Gossage is shooting from the lip again. This time, he's taking a shot at the team's great GM, C-Money himself.
"With
power ... you turn into a f--king a--hole. Is that it?"
"If he
had any balls, he'd do what he wants to do," Gossage said of
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman. "He doesn't think he needs any
baseball people around. Maybe he's right. The way the game is being run today,
maybe you don't."
"He
would've been gone 10 years ago if George was still around," Gossage said.
"He'd have been gone when he jumped out of that f--king airplane. Do you
think he’s a good f--king baseball guy, really? He doesn’t believe in f--king
coaching."
In 2017, Gossage ripped legendary Yankees closer Mariano
Rivera and their current closer, Aroldis
Chapman, for being one-inning pitchers, in
an interview with NJ Advance Media's Randy Miller.
"It's totally different, so
don't even compare me here," Gossage said. "Chapman's great. [Rivera]
was great ... for one inning."
We love the
Goose and don't completely disagree with him but it is what it is, as a wise
man once said. And Cash is king.
