Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has reacted to sharply critical comments made by Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly in the wake of the World Series.  At MLB GM meetings in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday, Cashman was asked about in which he compared and contrasted the Dodgers attention to detail versus the Yankees.  Look at the team, look at the talent. We go through numerous  B.J. Foster Jersey scouting reports. We pay attention to every single detail. We have a lot of big superstars in our clubhouse, but our superstars also care and arent lazy and play hard. Thats the difference, and the biggest separator, Kelly said of the two teams.  Brian Cashman reacted to critical comments made about the Yankees by Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly.  Brad Penner-Imagn Images  Cashman disagreed with Kellys premise.  Theyre the world champs and they get all the credit, but I dont think its a fair representation at the same time, he said, .  I think its more fair to say that we just played poorly in that series and underperformed. I think we underperformed in that series more so than somehow [the Yankees] were lucky to get to the World Series and how did we even get there.  Explore More  The Dodgers won the World Series in five games after the Yankees blew leads in Games 1 and 5.  Cashmans contention was that the Yankees were a good team that just didnt play our best when it counted the most.  Kelly was not on the Dodgers NLCS or World Series rosters due to injury.  On the podcast, he ripped the Yankees for being sloppy during the World Series and said he wouldve ranked the Padres, Phillies, Braves and Mets ahead of them in his hierarchy of quality baseball teams this season.  Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly (99) throws against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium in August 2024.  USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con  They got bad ball. Yeah, sloppy. Everyone knows that, Kelly said. We were saying every single game. Just let them throw the ball into the infield, they cant make a play. You sawShohei [Ohtani]  get an extra base going to third off a sloppyGleyber  [Torres]play. Its well known. We all knew.  At the GM meetings, Cashman continued to brush off the relievers comments.  I also know people with the Dodges so Ive got some internal conversations that Ive certainly got feedback on, I think its more representative of some specific players rather than the overall group, he said. And in Joes case, it feels like its some reason its a little personal, you know, the way hes out talking like he has. So it feels like thats more personal than anything else.  Joe Kelly spoke about the Dodgers World Series celebrations on the Baseball Isnt Boring podcast.  YouTube/Baseball Isn't Boring  So, I cant make much more of it than that. I know hes certainly talking a lot right now. And, hey he won, or they won, so, I can just say what I just said.  Christian Jones Jersey
