Losing Power
baseballmusings.com —
It appears Brian Cashman lost some power in the Yankees transition from George to Hank and Hal: For the first time in public, Cashman admitted what has become increasingly evident: That his job has changed since the Steinbrenner sons took control of the team. "Things have changed here in the third year," he said. "I'm learning as I go along, too. But it is different. But one thing is that I've been with this family, the Steinbrenner family, for well over 20 years. So I'm focused fully on doing everything I possibly can to assist them in their emergence now as decision makers." ...

At that time Cashman fought for, and got, the right to run the organization with the autonomy most general managers have. That's gone, and he knows it. From Peter Abraham of the Journal News. ...

A Method To Their Madness?
Depressed Fan —
... The main question everyone seems to be asking is, who's in charge? Is Brian Cashman still steering this ship? Judging from Cashman's own comments, the answer appears to be that he isn't steering it alone, at the very least. His role has changed, but I don't think it's Hank that's really taken control of the team, I think it's more Hal. He's the slick Steinbrenner son with the MBA in his back pocket and his finger on the purse strings of the organization. Hank is the blunt instrument, but I think Hal could be orchestrating everything from behind the scenes. ...
