Brian Cashman will remain general manager of the New York Yankees after announcing Wednesday that he has agreed to a new contract with the organization, extending his tenure despite another disappointing postseason finish.
Cashman confirmed the agreement during a video news conference, although minor details still need to be finalized. His previous five-year, $25 million contract was scheduled to expire at the end of October.
The agreement ensures that the longest-serving general manager in Yankees history will continue overseeing the team’s baseball operations.
During his 29 seasons leading New York’s front office, Cashman has helped the franchise capture 15 American League East titles and four World Series championships.
The Yankees have also maintained a winning record throughout his tenure, missing the postseason just five times.
However, the organization continues to come up short in securing another championship.
New York has gone 17 consecutive seasons without winning the World Series, with its latest postseason ending in a Division Series sweep against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Despite the continued disappointment, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has remained supportive of Cashman’s leadership and the organization’s long-term direction.
