10/26: Cashman Accepts 3-Year Deal
Update: Cashman has accepted the three year deal.
The latest report coming out of ESPN has the Yankees
offering Brian Cashman a three-year deal worth over $5 million. Personally, I think Cash will do a good job as GM and in my mind, he should get the opportunity to reconstruct the Yankees without being second-guessed at every turn. That being said, anyone who works for George Steinbrenner's baseball operations knows the deal. You will get a big budget, a very good salary, numerous chances at winning it all and oftentimes the best players in the game. However, with all that good stuff, you have to know that you will be held personally accountable for the things that do go wrong. What's that Spider-Man always says? "With great power comes great responsibility". Hmm, seems to fit pretty well, doesn't it?
For the players that Cashman (or whoever else will be hired if he turns down the job) will be working with,
