Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says he has no plans to leave the team for another organization. Cashman has been linked to Chicago previously and the announcement that the Cubs fired Jim Hendry has intensified rumors. "I have a job and I've been proud to be associated with this franchise," Cashman said. "I'm not looking to remove myself from this franchise." Cashman, 44, is in the final year of his current three-year deal, one that pays him roughly $2 million annually. "Every year my contract has expired, there have been unnamed experts that throw hand grenades about their suspicions with what I'm gong to do," Cashman said. "At some point, they've always been wrong."
