Yankees September 2015 approval poll: GM Brian Cashman

The Yanks precisely treaded water in the last full month of the regular season, so how does that reflect on their GM?

Back in August, the Yankees were a .500 team with a +19 run differential. The scorching hot Blue Jays passed them in the AL East standings, but given the rise of rookies Luis Severino and Greg Bird, Pinstripe Alley readers were understanding of Cashman's decision to not deal them at the deadline. So Cashman's approval rating actually remained about the same, moving up two ticks to 72% approval:

In a sense, Cashman was back to square one because when these approval ratings began back in January, he rated at 72% as well, and he fought through an up-and-down stretch early in the 2015 season to return to this level.
