The Yankee Way

The Untold Inside Story of the Brian Cashman Era

De: Andy Martino

Narrado por: 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.

“Andy Martino has uncovered the secret sauce behind the Yankees sustained excellence, aka, The Yankee Way. Through countless interviews and tireless digging, Martino has cracked the previous proprietary code of what makes the Yankees the Yankees. This book covers all the years that I have been around the Yankees and I found myself frequently saying, ‘I didn’t know that.’ It’s a must read for anyone who loves baseball and wants to know how the sausage is made.”—Michael Kay, New York Yankees broadcaster for the YES Network, and host of The Michael Kay Show on ESPN New York Radio

"Every Yankees fan knows the boldface names and broad-strokes history of the most successful franchise in sports. Now, with Andy Martino’s comprehensive and compelling The Yankee Way, we go behind the pinstriped curtain to the engine room of the empire. With lively anecdotes and insights from a wide array of first-hand sources, Martino weaves a tale of relationships forged and broken, architects emboldened and belittled, philosophies embraced and rejected–and the pull of an ever-evolving front office that keeps Brian Cashman, the indefatigable general manager, coming back for more."—Tyler Kepner, Senior Writer, The Athletic and New York Times bestselling author of K and The Grandest Stage

“This is your all-access pass to the inner workings of the Yankees front office. Andy Martino has hit a grand slam for anyone who ever dreamed of having a seat at the table.”—Bryan Hoch, Yankees reporter for MLB.com, author of 62: Aaron Judge, the New York Yankees and the Pursuit of Greatness

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!

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

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.

One of the best Yankees book I’ve read

Highly fascinating and very informative. Gives me a new perspective and appreciation to Brian Cashman’s contribution to the Yankees, especially his loyalty to the people who deserves credit. This book was well written and very enjoyable. And, although not a fan of authors reading their books, Andy Martino did an amazing job reading his book. Loved this!

Would definitely recommend this book

If you’re a sports fan this is a good read. I’m a Red Sox fan and still enjoyed this read. History is always good to know if you a. Fan of the game

Even a Red Sox fan would enjoy

The focus is on the Yankees but is informative and insightful about the inner workings of baseball. Worth reading to increase appreciation of what happens on and off the field.

Andy Hurls A Dandy!

Andy Martino holds nothing back in this straightforward look inside the Yankees organization which happens to coincide with the Cashman years. Underscores Aaron Judge as the true captain of captains in Yankee lore.

Excellent insider knowledge

This is probably the best baseball book I’ve ever read/listened to. Brilliant timeline of where the game has been and where it’s going. Interviews, news headlines and game theory are all prevalent in this book. Great listen.

liked hearing all the behind the scenes information that a pundit has access to
