Even though the New York Yankees have not achieved much success in the last few years, they are still the most decorated MLB clubhouse. If not for his recent failures, the Yankees were probably the most dominating team in during the late 90s and early 2000s. Although many might not agree, the Yankees GM Brian Cashman has also played a huge role in the team’s success. Notably, he has been serving the Bronx Bombers for the last 25 years.
However, the Pinstripes fans always find a way to blame their GM for the title drought in the Bronx. Recently, when Cashman completed his 25 years in the esteemed organization, to his dismay, the Yankees fanbase went berserk and started criticizing him for his incapability as one of the top executives.

No it wasn’t a mistake hiring him, it’s a mistake he didn’t fire him after being here for about 20+ years.

As someone who has been a Yankee fan since 1976, I just don’t see the fascination with this guy.
— Mr. Touba (@MrTouba) February 4, 2023
I'd say that, on the whole, it's been a failure.

I despise this man

He has long overstayed his welcome.

But to say that the fans are angry would be an understatement. The fans remember that ever since the 21st century started; the Yanks have won only two World Series. The Core 4 made it happen, and since then, in 20 years, they’ve won only one pennant. Notably, the fans are furious and are not happy that Cashman’s contract got extended for another four years.
