Cashman’s Last Year?
This year is the last in Cashman’s current contract, which brings up the question of whether or not the Yankees will make an extension offer to him. When asked about it, Cashman said he is not worried about that at the moment because there are so many other things going on that he doesn’t have time to worry about it. In my opinion that is a good approach to it because thinking about something like that would do no use. Instead, Cashman is focusing on his job and a potential deal with the Twins for John Santana. Whatever happens with that whole situation and how the Yankees do this season will certainly play a part in whether or not the Steinbrenner’s want Cashman back. I don’t expect them to make a contract extension offer until atleast half way through the season, when we get a better picture of how Cashman’s moves have helped/hurt the Yanks.
