He is the reason I no longer go to games at the stadium. And I watch VERY few games on television. It's so frustrating for a huge moment in a game to arise and see Gary Sanchez, the most abhorrent player on the Yankees, come to the plate and display the complete worst discipline and have a magnificently useless at bat.
All because Cashman is running things.
Cashman may be the worst GM in baseball.
Count me as one of the many who is dying to see Cashman take a job elsewhere where he doesn't have a $200+ payroll annually.

Maybe not the worst. But could be the most arrogant.

I'm certain he would fail spectacularly.
I'd be curious to see how he'd do with lower payroll and lower expectations. Some of his biggest blunders are with spending poorly and prospect hugging. Now to be clear I don't think he'd do particularly well as the few FAs he'd be able to sign he'd miss on, but it would be interesting to see if taking some tools out of his belt might improve his efficiency and performance relative to lower expectations. And if he was in a position to accumulate prospects via selling if by the law of averages he'd finally have some more prospects that succeed. I do think it would not work out well, but I'd be curious to see it. It'd certainly be a better fit for him than being GM for the New York Yankees.

IMO it seems like this sentence could apply to all 30 GMs. All 30 would probably agree, also.

No, I'd say some are really bad at trades. A guy like Dave Dombrowski is notorious for ruining minor league systems and bad bullpens. Others hardly have any significant blunders at all. I'll give Cashman credit on his trades when he actually makes a trade its usually at least decent.
But yes back to Sanchez, trade him and get Mitch Garver.
You stop that you. They made the playoffs you know. Sheesh.
And, after that, it's just a crap shoot. Everybody knows that.
"But what people tend to forget...is that being a Yankee is as much about character as it is about performance; as much about who you are as what you do."
