## Summary

The Yankees held talks about several roster and coaching plans at the general managers’ meetings in Las Vegas, as the club faces criticism after another season without a World Series title. General manager Brian Cashman defended the team’s work, with the championship drought now at 17 years, matching its longest since the franchise’s first title in 1923.

The meetings took place against the backdrop of a lockout expected to begin at midnight on 1 December. Since the Yankees were swept by the Rays in the American League Division Series, criticism has come from fans and former players including Jorge Posada, Joe Girardi, CC Sabathia and Anthony Rizzo. The article’s headline also flags a meeting with Shoki Oda, plans involving Luis García Jr. and a coaching staff shake-up.
