 Except the elite of the elite managers, no manager is going to impact a team in the way it should. So you can see Bruce Bochy in Texas. That worked out. They won a World Series. Craig Council paid the highest manager when he moved to the Chicago Cubs. Besides that, it's all in the players. And the Yankees players, time and time again, Carlos Rodon, paid very highly for a starting pitcher, does not produce. It's the players' fault, not always the manager's.
