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

Yankees replacement for Brian Cashman — David Stearns

If the Yankees want to once again show New York which team runs the Big Apple, they could get bold and go after David Stearns, a man who many believe is destined to join the New York Mets as team president in the offseason.

Stearns stepped down as president of baseball operations from the Milwaukee Brewers last October, but his contract with the team still ran through the 2023 campaign. That obligation keeps him on the sidelines until the offseason, when it’s expected the Mets will push hard for him to join Billy Eppler and try to rebuild the Mets after a disastrous season.

What if the Yankees decided to poach Stearns away from the Mets? Better yet, there have been rumors that the Boston Red Sox may make an effort to lure Stearns into their franchise. If the Yanks could land someone who guided Milwaukee to the postseason four times in his seven-year run and posted the third-most wins (481) in the National League in a six-year span and keep two arch-rivals from signing him as well? That sounds like the best of all worlds, doesn’t it?

Sure, on the surface, Stearns seems like a long shot to take over in the Bronx, but his signing would certainly signal a new day for the Yankees empire.
