Brian Cashman’s run as the New York Yankees general manager won’t come to an end right now.

On Wednesday, Cashman said he and the Yankees agreed on a new contract, and while the final details are being sorted out, here’s what the GM said: “We’re locked and loaded.”

Cashman was hired as an intern with the Yankees in 1986 before moving to a baseball operations assistant role. He then took over as the full-time GM in 1998, so he has now spent nearly 30 years as the GM in the Bronx.

Cashman signing an extension was expected even throughout the summer, and now things are being brought to the finish line.

The Yankees GM has been at the forefront of plenty of trades, and he helped with the team’s most recent World Series win, which came in 1998.

New York defeated the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card round before seeing their postseason come to an end against the Tampa Bay Rays, who ended up winning the American League pennant.

The Yankees also decided to run it back another season with manager Aaron Boone, so there is some continuity in the Bronx going into the 2027 MLB season.
