The New York Yankees have been negotiating a contract extension for General Manager, Brian Cashman, and according to sources close to Buster Olney of ESPN, they’re “going smoothly.”

Cashman has been with the Yankees since 1998, but as Olney points out, he could walk away at the end of the month when his contract expires. Both the Yankees and Cashman would like to continue their relationship, and contract talks with club executives, including Hal Steinbrenner, have started says Olney.
