Yankees’ general manager Brian Cashman and managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner haven’t sat down to discuss the former’s future in the organization. Cashman’s contract is up, and they would need to agree to another deal.
While the general expectation is that Cashman keeps his role as the Yankees’ GM, a recent development creates another possible scenario: the Houston Astros parted ways with their own GM James Click on Friday.
Is it possible that the Yankees move on from Cashman to go after Click? It should be considered unlikely, but not impossible.
The fallout of the 2017 sign-stealing scandal by the Astros brought with it the departure of Jeff Lunhow and, as a result, a new GM in January of 2020.
