08:16 AM ET 10.31 | Though the offseason is only days old, a handful of GMs have more work cut out for them than others, with Brian Cashman atop the list. Hands down, Cashman has the most difficult path facing him of any general manager of baseball. Perhaps it just comes with the territory of being the GM of baseball's uber-team, but this offseason is especially difficult. With the Yankees' mandate of "anything less than a World Series is failure" hovering over him, the fixes Cashman faces are not easy. ... The Yankees have never had the luxury of going with a full-scale youth movement -- they are expected to contend every year, so Cashman must resolve the situation with Alex Rodriguez, whose declining skills, massive contract and no-trade clause make him nearly impossible to move.

Put him in the lower third of the batting order and keep him there.

I agree. Plus, that would be highly entertaining to watch.

Cashman maybe you need to talk to Mattingly about getting A-Rod to relocate to LA since they are trying to be like you and buy a championship.

Hands down most difficult ??? I think the Padres organization might have a step up on the screwed dept. Here Cashman let me help u , dump Arod to a desperate team say maybe Dodgers eat most of salary , then thrown another 200 mill on another overpriced free agent ... See , that wasn't so hard .

The ARod situation has already been resolved. He will be the Yankee 3rd baseman, and probably bat lower in the order. It is the rest of the team that is uncertain.

Except Mattingly isn't the GM or the one who signs the checks.

ARod has a full no-trade clause. Good luck trying to get him to waive that to go to another team where he'll lose out on the HR milestone bonuses that the Yankees are responsible for if he's on the roster.

Not built for the playoffs, but to think they have no chance of winning 90+ games during the regular season is not good thinking.

I say the toughest job goes to Theo Epstien. Really! Think about it, how is he going to keep the Cubs that bad? It takes skill to keep them low, it's a hard act to walk

truthfully, the hardest job will be in beantown. I don't think they have the right person for the job, the media is going to blow this thing to pieces. Cashman has it easy compared to the kid in Boston who I'm sure is being told what to do by Larry L.

Cashman is the worst GM in baseball. They give him millions and millions more and he still cannot win.

Bull crap. You're telling me that the GM of the Astros and the Padres and the Indians have it easier than Brian Cashman? Give me a break.
