Jorge Posada Says He Does Not Feel Welcome by the Yankees

He spent his entire 17-year major-league career with New York and won four World Series titles with the team.
Posada’s final season, in 2011, was difficult as he moved from catcher to designated hitter and had less playing time.
He did not name a specific incident behind his feeling that the Yankees do not want him around.
He said the team should hold players more accountable for mistakes, including during the regular season.
Posada said manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman are the right people to lead the Yankees, and put responsibility for postseason results on the players.
Boone is set to return in 2027 and Cashman has been extended, but the sources do not say whether Posada will take a role with the team.
