In the grand scheme of things, Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner and general manager Brian Cashman are on the same page.
Both directorates believe the franchise has laid the foundation for a future with long-lasting success, sculpted around several young rookies and prospects such as Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin, to name a few. But the Yankees’ brain trust has several other members, including its co-chairman, who’s also confident in the plans put into action.
Hank Steinbrenner, the older brother of Hal, told the Associated Press on Thursday that when the “face of the Yankees’ next dynasty” begins to win consistently, the front office will also start pursuing big-ticket items with help from its checkbook.
