Bill Madden of the Daily News:
Judging by the hard public line Cashman took with Derek Jeter this winter, I believe that Cashman, left to his own means, would’ve offered the Yankee captain no more than a one-year deal with a vesting option…Remember, this is the same GM who essentially fired Bernie Williams, and in that respect, Cashman has shown himself to have the same cold business-like manner as George Weiss, the Hall-of-Fame Yankee GM of the ’50s (who, just as coldly, severed ties with Yankee icons Phil Rizzuto and Vic Raschi among others) when it comes to sentimentality.
The way it should be.
This is why I’m beginning to think, when his contract runs out after this season, Cashman will walk away from the Yankees and try to land a job with a small-market team, with an ownership that will give him a free hand.
It would be a sad day, indeed.
Raaannndy!

Time to rappel into Hal’s office for an executive meeting.
Zero January 23, 2011 23:58
I have been thinking this for a few weeks now. I think it will come down to Cash’s ego. Does he really believe he can build a champion on a fraction of the Yankees budget? Does he even want to? Maybe having the pube-headed idiot butt in every now and again is something he can deal with just so he can have all that money to throw around. It would indeed be a sad day as I think Hank and Hal would step up and try and Al Davis things for a bit.
Paul January 24, 2011 00:11
If I were the Yankees, I wouldn’t see any reason to bend over backwards to keep him after his moves in the past two offseasons.
Easy there January 24, 2011 02:06
Cashman is the only thing keeping the Yankees from being the Mets. Say goodbye to the farm if he leaves.
Just sayin' clone January 24, 2011 12:48
They wouldn’t get a new GM if he left — or you already know who it’d be, and he sucks?

Levine and Trost are incapable for the most part when it comes to evaluating baseball players and their business value.
The Steinbrenners sometimes remind me of Abramovitch from Chelsea or the Sheikh from ManC… in the UK the term is “All the great but no idea”…

Just please, for the love of God, someone tell the owners that they don’t know everything. Our farm system is one of the best in the majors right now, and it’s not just because Hank or Hal or whatever signs checks but because Cashman knows what he’s doing.
Mike K January 25, 2011 13:12
Yeah, draft all the guys with signability issues b/c we’re one of three/four teams that can sign them. Genius.

Cashman lives in cushy fairfield county, is GM of the Yankees. The Steins like the guy. The grass, his payscale, and large team payroll for him to play with will be GREENER for him… just where ?
Randy January 24, 2011 09:31
One can only hope that Cash is gone after this abortion he called an off-season.

*Cashman smashes Randy’s face with his 2009 World Series Championship Ring*
Steve January 24, 2011 09:57
What is probably more likely is that Cashman will accept a “promotion” to team president or something like that, and Oppenheimer will be promoted to GM.
Cashman is, and always has been, a loyal Yankee soldier. He knows they gave him his huge break, and just because he may be tiring after running a 3 ring circus for 13 years, I think it’s a stretch to say b/c he thought $35M for setup man was too much money that all of sudden he wants to run the Royals.
Give me a break. He hasn’t had his best winter, but that doesn’t mean we want to see what would happen if db’s like Randy Levine are running the show.
Alfredo Griffin January 24, 2011 10:14
I disagree with this. First, Levine is Team President, so where is Cashman going to be promoted. Furthermore, Cashman is in his early 40s – you think he’s going to take a symbolic position at such an early stage in his career? That’s highly unlikely.
He either stays on as GM and deals with Levine’s bullshit, or he leaves.
Steve January 24, 2011 11:14
I do, but I admit it is just my opinion backed by no evidence. I guess I shouldn’t have said “more likely”, but “What I think will happen”.
I am just basing this on the fact that he’s never been in any other organization and that he’s been through much worse in terms of having his authority usurped, but he never left.
Again, just my opinion, but the level of frankness he has taken on with the media in recent years is almost unheard of. He has become brutally blunt and honest, both about players and about assessing his own performance. His comments during the Jeter process just sounded like a guy who is just worn out by the tabloid BS and just doesn’t give a crap anymore.
As for Levine being president, I am sure they would make a spot for him. He’s been GM for 13 years, assistant GM for several years before that, and has 5 rings in those roles.
Alfredo Griffin January 24, 2011 12:18
Fair enough. But, as a man with ambition, I don’t think he’d be willing to take a symbolic role at such a young professional age.
Just Sayin' January 24, 2011 23:38

Kenny Fucking Powers January 24, 2011 10:00
I was thinking the same thing, Stevie. I think the reason why they denied Oppenheimer the opportunity to speak with Arizona is because he is their next GM.
Alan Harper January 24, 2011 10:10
Or maybe because under Cashman’s restructuring of the organization, Oppenheimer helped turn the farm system around and they didn’t want to let him go.
Kenny Fucking Powers January 24, 2011 10:44
Right…pretty much what I was insinuating unless you think stopped him from talking to Arizona about a GM opening because they want him to run their farm system in perpetuity…

Wow, you really sound like quite the ladies man. I bet you score loads of chick’s down there in your basement hiding away from reality and still obsessing with your 12 sided die from D&D. Tell me Kenny, how do you do it? By the way, fictional fat guys are a real turn on for any lady.

Is Ben fucking you from behind or something to that nature? Why are you asking him to take it easy?
Trevor January 24, 2011 16:36
And once Cash leaves, how long do you think it will be before the farm system is needlessly emptied. And once that happens watch them repeat the mistake of overpaying every year on the wrong players to make up for their lack of talen evaluation
[Censored] January 24, 2011 16:45
Over on RAB, we have endorsed a plan whereby the commenters on our site will have full control over player acquisitions. I think xFIP will become a much more popular abbreviation in the mainstream media after that.

Warner Wolf January 25, 2011 18:14
It’s ironic that NM isn’t for being sentimental to players but shows much of it to a GM.
Stop protecting Cash as if he is some unique evaluator. Isn’t the premise of the site that anyone could get better results with the $ advantage the Yankees have.
Can’t wait till Cash is gone & you can praise he genius when he is a sucking cock in Cleveland.
Yankees- bigger than any player or management personnel.
