Cashman is a nepo baby. Cashman's father was business partners with George Steinbrenner. George gave Cashman a job on his horse farm and then made him an assistant to an assistant with the Yankees. At the time, the Yankees were being run by Gene Michael at the major league level and Billy Connors at the minor league level. Cashman was nothing but an intern who was elevated only because Bob Watson decided to retire late in Spring Training in 1998. Cashman was literally handed an alltime great roster by Gene Michael and Bob Watson, and he had nothing to do until those contracts started to expire. Go back and look at those 2000's Yankees rosters. Look at the bullpens. Cashman was a poor gm then, and now he is a poor gm with one of the highest budgets in baseball.
