  "account": "The New York Yankees are in the midst of their worst month in franchise history, according to Jorge Posada. The issues go beyond their recent loss to the Rays in the AL Division Series, and Posada believes the team's culture needs a major overhaul. Several franchise legends, including Derek Jeter, Paul O'Neill, CC Sabathia, and Alex Rodriguez, have criticized the clubhouse environment. Owner Hal Steinbrenner has shown no remorse for the team's recent failures. Manager Aaron Boone, who has been with the team for nine years without a championship, stated he believes he can be successful despite his record. Posada, a beloved member of the Core Four, feels he is no longer welcome at spring training. Brewers manager Pat Murphy, celebrating the team's first World Series title, called the Yankees \"horses--\" and accused them of playing for themselves. This public relations disaster has shaken the fan base, with Steinbrenner advised to stay away entirely. The most damaging indictments against the Yankees are that Posada feels snubbed and the team has fallen so far that even a small-market manager like Pat Murphy can trash the team after winning the World Series. The Yankees were once the most prestigious club in MLB, but Posada's accusations, made during a New York Post podcast, are shocking.",
