The Yankees and general manager Brian Cashman fully expect to have a new contract signed by Halloween.
"It will be done by Oct. 31," a team official said.
Since the season ended, Cashman and Yankees officials have repeatedly stated they expect Cashman to return. It is just a matter of when it will be officially announced.
Cashman, whose contract expires at the end of the month, has been going about his offseason preparation.
