Cashman may walk away from Yankees

Small Market team? How's he going to build a team without having the luxury of an open wallet??

Going to...Kansas City...Kansas City Here I Come!

I doubt it. Every GM in baseball would love to have the open wallet and high expectations of the Yankees.

I hope he leaves.. It'll add to the Yankees bumbling downfall coming to a stadium near you. Hal is not King George. I doubt Hal loves the team like his father did. Get out now Cash.. get out now..

Cashman has had alot of stroke with the Yankees, especially after his contract negotiation in 2005. He was basically overridden on two things, Arod & Soriano. That's impressive for the Yankees to give their GM this much control. Let us not forget that Ca$h is the guy who put a knife in Torre's back when the Steinbrenner's were about to show him the door. The Yankees will do just fine without Cashman if he wants to go elsewhere.

maybe he can become Theo's assistant in Boston:)

I don't see him going anywhere. He got his feelings for the Soriano signing off his chest and now it's time to more forward.

I'm not saying he can't be a good GM somewhere else, but he is definitely overrated considering he's essentially had an infinite amount of money to work with in NY. Yes, he has drafted some good players, but the ratio of free agent stars to home grown stars is bigger in the Bronx than anywhere else. Let's see how he does when he actually has to work with a budget, has to focus on drafting, developing and bringing in key, undervalued pieces rather than just going out there and writing a bigger check than the other GMs can afford.

Cashman is overrated. Any GM can throw $$ around, trades are where you earn your street cred. Stick and Bob Watson made a few great trades. Cashman, not so much.

If they replace him, I'd wish it was with a baseball guy/scout type, not a dexter with an addiction to stats.

He may have already made the right amount of money over the years, savings and investments now in good shape and may now be on cruise control. Nice salary, reduced amount of headaches? Yeah maybe. They may be poised to climb out of the cellar by then. But, yeah they got some crazy little woman there he may be getting himself one.....

If he does decide to leave or the Yankees decide to not extend his contract there won't be any shortage of candidates for the job.

On the other hand, if the Soriano signing turns out to be the bust I expect, perhaps the Baby Steins will wise up and realize that Cashman is not an idiot.

if he leaves the Yankees, he wont be the $$ Ca$h man $$ any longer.....

He ought to leave, or better yet, get fired. I love how Cashman and Theo, are regarded as some kind of geniuses, being successful when they have giant gobs of money to spend. The Yanks won two years ago. So what? They spent $420m on three guys, who can do that? You want to measure how good these guys are, figure out how much it costs, payroll-wise, for each win. Both of them ought to take Larry Beinfest's payroll (Marlins) for a spin some year and we'll see how good they are. Truth!

Yankees suck! I hope they miss the playoffs in 2011 and for many years to come!

I don't think he really cared about the Soriano signing. Just some writer stirring the pot.

Maybe...If history tells us anything though .... When they overpay it doesn't mean they put together the best team. Over the last era of free agency: red sox : 2 WS wins, Yankees 7 WS wins. out of about the last 32 years...
At this time of the year just about every fan has expectations for their favorite team to make the playoffs. I do agree these two teams may have the most potential to win it all, but they get knocked off plenty.
These two guys have done decent jobs over the last years but have also over spent. Especially cashman (on pitching I would say)

CMon............... How many teams besides the red sox have home grown all stars on their team............... Pedrioa, Youkilis, Lester, Papelbon, Buckholz what other team has as many homegrown allstars.......... I hate how people talk **** about how the Red Sox spend money if they didnt they wouldnt be able to compete in the AL East and obviously money doesnt buy you happiness but it helps you compete in a division of baseball. Steinbrenner family has helped destroy baseball. I am a Sox fan and I am totally for a salary cap to make the game more fair and I am sure you agree.................. but there isnt as many teams out there that have home grown allstars............
