[edit] Biographical Information

Brian Cashman has been General Manager of the New York Yankees since 1998. Under his leadership, the Yankees have won four World Series championships and six American League pennants. He previously served as assistant GM from 1995 to 1997. He was lucky to be hired at a time when owner George Steinbrenner began to pull back from trying to influence the day-to-day operations of the ball club. Cashman's predecessors as GM over the past two-and-a-half decades had generally held very short tenures, and the same was predicted for the 31-year-old and relatively inexperienced Cashman, but he proved to be equal to the task, using the Yankees' vast resources agressively to sign free agents, but also pulling off a number of major trades, often taking advantage of other teams' lack of financial flexibility. As a result, not only did Cashman not get fired at the first misstep, but he has instead piloted the Yankees' front office through one of its most susccessful periods, especially given the much-more competitive business environment facing the club.

In 2010, Cashman was the victim of a bizare case of fraud and stalking perpetrated by a young woman of British origin, Louise Neathway, who attempted to shake him down for a large sum of money. She was indiceted on those charges in early 2012.
