BRONX, N.Y. — On Monday, the New York Yankees re-signed general manager Brian Cashman to a four-year contract. The move came as GMs of other teams were, well, you know, signing actual players! While it was inevitable, the move is a head-scratcher.
As WFAN’s Sweeny Murti succinctly put it:
Never have the emotions of a fanbase swung so heavily on the use of a hyphen. https://t.co/nCAMb2XFs8
Cashman, who in 1998, inherited a dynasty built by the likes of Gene “Stick” Michael, Bob Watson, Mark Newman, and Buck Showalter, has essentially one (2009) World Series title to his credit in 25 years and has yet to win a title without any players drafted by Michael.
