In sports, we hear guarantees all the time. Players guarantee victories, MLB and NBA players receive guaranteed contracts, the Boston Red Sox were guaranteed a playoff spot and the Philadelphia Phillies were guaranteed a World Series berth by the media. Tired of guarantees? Oh well, I have one more for you. According to Joel Sherman – or someone “in the know” that Sherman spoke with – Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees are guaranteed to come to an agreement on a new contract. At this point it is only a matter of Brian Cashman flying to Tampa to meet up with New York Yankees brass face-to-face.
At the same time, Mark Feinsand reports that the two sides have not had any talks yet. Despite the conflicting tunes, it is generally expected that Cashman will sign a new deal with the Yanks sooner rather than later. I’ve already discussed how I feel about Brian Cashman, but it won’t hurt to reiterate that I’m looking forward to the two sides coming together on a deal. Whenever that may be.
