Cashman has been New Yorks GM since 1998, when the Yankees won the World Series in his first season. He has built three more championship teams, most recently in 2009. Cashman said during a conference call that he wants to find a way to get our fan base back to enjoying October sooner rather than later. The 47-year-old Cashman has been in his job longer than every GM in baseball except San Franciscos Brian Sabean and Oaklands Billy Beane. The Yankees have missed the post-season the last two seasons, the first time theyve done that since 1992-93.
