Brian Cashman Due for a New Contract
February 27th, 2008
Brian Cashman, the General Manager of the Yankees is expecting to get a new contract by the end of this season. The talks will go on between the senior vice president of Yankees, Hank Steinbrenner and Cashman during this season. Cashman is in the last year of his present contract and he wants to keep any talk about the new deal as a matter only between him and Steinbrenner. At present both are busy concentrating on the spring training session and are expected to have a discussion later, in between the games of the season.
Cashman was only19 years old, when he joined Yankees, as an intern in the year 1986. He took over the post of General Manager in the year 1997 as a successor of Bob Watson. Steinbrenner said that, he has known Cashman personally for along time but, is unable to predict whether Cashman would like to stay on as the General Manager again. Steinbrenner values Cashman for his organizational abilities and to put everything in place. Steinbrenner is happy with the way things are going now. He is very impressed with the work of the new manager Joe Giardi. Both Cashman and Steinbrenner are positive about the outcome of the discussion of the contract.
