Notably, earlier this month the New York Yankees signed Marwin Gonzalez on a minor league deal. However, the utility player was also a part of the Astros’ scandal in the 2017 season.
Aaron Boone thinks the Astros’ scandal is a thing of the past for Marwin Gonzalez
Aaron Boone believes that Cashman’s comments are not going to affect Gonzalez. Because, after signing a minor-league deal with the Yankees, Gonzalez has put up excellent numbers in the spring training games. Not to mention, his performance might also earn him a spot on the Yankees’ roster.
Talking to Marly Rivera of ESPN, Boone confirmed that the team has only one goal, and that is winning the championship. “I think we’ve all lived through those. You know, how’s this going to react?… We have been through all that,” Aaron Boone said. “And I’m not worried about that. I mean, we’re playing for a lot… We’re trying to go on a championship and that’s our focus. And I don’t see any issue.”
