In the least surprising signing in the Bronx this winter, the Yankees announced they had re-signed General Manager Brian Cashman to a four-year deal on Monday. Cashman, who has been at the helm of the Bombers since 1998, had been working without a contract since the Yankees’ season ended in October.
Yankees managing partner Hal Steinbrenner had made it clear that he was not looking for a change in leadership after the season concluded with the Yankees being swept by the Astros in the American League Championship Series.
“It’s just a matter of salary. I’ve told him that I want him back. We’ve talked about it. We’re in the same neighborhood. It’s just semantics,” Steinbrenner said at last month’s owners meetings in New York.
