Official sad news: New York Yankees head coach have been summited his resignation letter to the management….

The Yankees fired Lawson, their second-year hitting coach, Sunday night after heading into the All-Star break with a 7-4 loss to the Cubs in The Bronx.

Lawson, 38, became the first coach or manager that general manager Brian Cashman has fired in-season during his 26-year tenure.

Cashman said he was not fully comfortable with having to make the decision in the middle of the season, but felt the Yankees would be best served by having a “different messenger.”

The team had not yet offered the job to anyone else, Cashman said, but he will go outside of the organization to replace Lawson as the top hitting coach and hopes to have the person in place by the time the Yankees open the second half on Friday in Colorado.

Our offense has struggled mightily, more so than I can recall,” Cashman said Sunday night on a Zoom call.

“The team that we have, in fairness to Dillon, we have had some injuries without a doubt, but collectively we’ve really struggled.

I feel like we’re best served kind of changing things up a little bit as we move into the second half here.

“Once that second half starts, we have a short window to try to re-achieve all of our capabilities, including good health.

I feel like finding somebody else to take that top seat on the offensive side is going to be in our best interest as I problem-solve with our entire operation.”

The Yankees entered the break 49-42, looking like a shell of themselves since Aaron Judge went down with a sprained right big toe on June 3 at Dodger Stadium
