When Derek Jeter introduced slightly cryptically on the Yankee Stadium ceremony to honor his Corridor of Fame induction that he hopes to “see much more of you,” the rumor mill moved into overdrive. Instantly, of us started speculating Jeter can be changing Brian Cashman as Yankees GM.
However sorry, listed below are 4 good the reason why that isn’t occurring.
1) Cashman isn’t at risk of dropping his job regardless of some followers’ needs. Possibly if the Yankees fall out of first, then exit rapidly as a wild card, however even then … Sure, some latest Cashman strikes aren’t working, however evaluating a GM takes the total report into consideration, and he has 25 years of successful data. That’s plenty of successful.
2) Yankees boss Hal Steinbrenner values stability in a manner his father by no means did. He’s not more likely to utterly change course off a “disappointing” 90-something-win season. And if he does, he’s unlikely to rent an unproven commodity.
3) Jeter isn’t identified to be curious about a GM job. He was CEO in Miami, so GM technically can be a step down. Sure, it’s the Yankees, not the Marlins. However the GM job comes with points which will deter Jeter, resembling accepting fixed criticism. Cashman offers with it. Jeter appreciated solely reward as an all-time nice participant (and, in case he’s studying, he was simply that). He began the Gamers Tribune, which solely presents approved/sanitized “information,” the type he likes.
4) There’s no proof Jeter can be a greater GM than Cashman. Cashman has received 4 titles, and whereas it’s been awhile, the Yankees contend yearly. Whereas Jeter remained above the fray in Miami because of his exalted title, he was the de facto GM, in response to sources. And whereas it isn’t straightforward successful on a shoestring, issues didn’t go properly.
Even earlier than this disappointing season performed out, Jeter and possession parted methods, and it’s arduous to think about Jeter actually left as a result of they wouldn’t let him spend $100 million on Nick Castellanos, as experiences prompt.
They nonetheless spent $92 million signing Avisail Garcia (Jeter spearheaded that signing) and Jorge Soler, who bought harm. You actually assume he’s quitting on a workers he employed over $8 million in spending cash?
In actuality, some companions have been stated to be sad the staff continues to be dropping cash and video games on the identical price as earlier than. Anyway, Castellanos has been barely higher than Garcia, who’s out once more with a hamstring after underperforming. Garcia has been known as “Jeter’s parting reward,’’ since $14 million a yr for a non-producer is disastrous for a staff that also doesn’t draw mosquitoes to Miami.
