3 dream replacements for Brian Cashman if the New York Yankees fire him

Yankees replacement for Brian Cashman — Derek Jeter

Come on, admit it. The thought of The Captain becoming the GM in the Bronx is an alluring one, even if his time overseeing the Miami Marlins as CEO ended rather abruptly.

Jeter has all of the pedigree to become the general manager, and would likely surround himself with the right people to get the job done. As much work as Jeter might have put into his role with the Marlins in an attempt to turn around that franchise, it would be little surprise to see that passion even increased trying to get the Yankees back to the World Series, something that was so common for Jeter when he was a player.

Certainly there is the chance that Jeter ascending to GM would likely be met with interesting reactions from the New York fan base … and anything less than returning to the Fall Classic might be seen as a failure by Jeter, potentially tarnishing his reputation with the franchise. That’s certainly one of the potential negatives. But are there more positives to the potential than negatives? After all, this is someone who bleeds Pinstripes and already has experience in the front office.

Don’t forget that Jeter suggested on national television at the All-Star Game that New York go hard after San Diego’s Juan Soto at the trade deadline. He’s already thinking of what moves could help New York be winners again … just like a GM would.
