The Yankee Way

The Untold Inside Story of the Brian Cashman Era

By: Andy Martino

Narrated by: Andy Martino

With rare access to the inner sanctum of the New York Yankees, SNY analyst Andy Martino weaves two years of exclusive interviews with general manager Brian Cashman into a revelatory account of never-before-told stories about Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge, Alex Rodriguez, the complex front office, team ownership, and insights into the World Series wins and day-to-day running of the team that fans never get to see.

When Brian Cashman arrived in the Bronx as an intern in 1986, he discovered a team in chaos, run on impulse and emotion and lacking the sheen that had defined the Yankees in earlier eras. Decades later, Cashman had risen through the ranks of the front office, earned the trust of the Steinbrenner family, and become the longest-serving GM in the Yankees’ storied history, helping to transform the Yankees to glory with a string of World Series championships and an unmatched streak of winning seasons.

With unprecedented inside access and featuring exclusive interviews with Cashman, owner Hal Steinbrenner, top front-office executives, current Yankee stars and coaches, award-winning baseball journalist Andy Martino gives fans a view from the GM’s seat that we would never normally see. From Cashman’s battles with inscrutable team captain Derek Jeter, to tensions between Jeter and A-Rod, to Cashman’s struggles with beloved manager Joe Torre. This book explores the management of egos on the field and in the front office, as well as the evolution of the manager position over generations and into the analytics era. Packed with drama and intrigue, this is the definitive inside account of the most intriguing and storied franchise in Major League Baseball.

An insightful look inside ….

As a casual but long standing Yankees fan, I really enjoyed the behind the scenes look into the Brian Cashman years. No other story could be told that wasn’t a great look at him and his team! I got lost in the myriad facts surrounding Cashman’s time with the Yankees.

Very informative book on recent Yankees history

This is a great look behind the curtain into the way the NY Yankees operate and how that story shaped the whole of modern baseball. Highly recommend!

A Deep dive into the last few years of Yankee baseball

This book plus jeter's documentary make me think he is not the guy we all believed he was. With that in mind, martino shed a lot of light on things we were not privy to otherwise. At least I wasn't. Finally we find out what the four fingers meant when the yanks got on base!!! Finally!! Relieving the judge free agency fiasco wasn't fun though I have to say. If you love the Yankees this is a great listen, especially because it is a third party perspective. The pronunciation of Carlos Rodons name is annoying but you can get passed that.

The inside details

It was informative and gave an excellent behind the scenes look at how the Yankees conducted business.

Yankee fan must

In the era of social media the fans get to know a lot of inside information. But this book shows that even in this day In age there are things we still dont and won’t know unless a book like this is made. It had me hooked from the beginning. I appreciated the history comparisons to the then and now of the New York Yankees. Because of this book I purchased the cheater book about the sign stealing fiasco and will listen to that next
