Brian Cashman, long-time general manager of the New York Yankees, was unable to attend this year's general managers' meetings due to an unexpected personal matter that prevented him from traveling to Las Vegas. However, instead of missing out on crucial discussions and strategy sessions with his team, he has opted to participate remotely.
Cashman will be working virtually alongside a small group of top lieutenants, including assistant GM Mike Fishman, vice president of player development Kevin Reese, and director of baseball operations Matt Ferry. The virtual setup allows Cashman to stay connected with his team despite being physically absent from the meetings.
While it may seem unconventional for the general manager to participate in remote meetings, it's a testament to Cashman's adaptability and ability to prioritize his role, even when faced with unexpected challenges. As he wraps up an impressive 28-year tenure as GM, this experience serves as a reminder of the evolving nature of baseball operations.
In a press release, the Yankees' organization attributed Cashman's absence to a "non-baseball related" issue, but provided no further details. Nevertheless, it's clear that his remote participation will allow him to stay engaged with his team and contribute to shaping the direction of the Yankees for the upcoming season.

Still a bit weird that the big cheeses like Cashman have to deal with personal stuff when they're supposed to be leading the charge. Anyone else think it's good or bad that he's still in the loop, even if it's just virtually? 
Guess it shows how times are changing, and flexibility is key. 
. Anyway, I hope everything works out for him and the Yankees! 
cashman doin what he feelin is best 4 himself & it aint nobody bizness 
so even tho hes not physically there, shes makin sure his team stay connected n stuff. adaptability r key n all dis tech savvy GMs got skills too 
. As a fan, it would have been super hard for me to miss out on strategy sessions and updates about my favorite team 
. But now I can keep up with Cashman's thoughts and ideas virtually 
. Its also pretty inspiring that he's still got the adaptability skills to make this work, after 28 years in the job 
.
. It just shows how tech-savvy he and the team are getting, you know? Like, we're living in a world where remote work is a thing, so why not baseball ops too? 
. It's more about being able to contribute and stay connected with his team, which is cool, but also a little unconventional for the baseball world. Still, kudos to Cashman for showing adaptability – it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out in the future 
he's still gonna make sure those yankees are winning regardless if he's in vegas or not 
gotta respect his adaptability on this one, especially after 28 years at the helm 
so they can still make some moves and stuff this remote thingy might just give them an edge 
in baseball ops now u can work from anywhere even when ur physically not there 
. Cashman's got his priorities straight and that's what matters most. 28 years on the job, he must know what's up. The future of baseball operations is all about flexibility and staying connected with your team. Who knows, maybe this will be the new norm? 
they gotta be a fan of innovation lol, adapting to new tech is key in today's fast-paced world 
i mean, 28 years as gm is a big deal and you would think he'd have it all figured out by now 
and im sure cashman is doing what's best for the yanks 
.
... cashman's all about prioritizing his role and adapting to changes, that's what makes him a solid GM. plus, who knows, maybe this virtual setup will give him some fresh perspectives on strategy sessions 
, this is so cool 
, and it's awesome to see him adapting to change 
. His team must be super impressed that he can still contribute from afar 
! He's gotta know what's going on in the league 
️, and now he can do it all from his laptop 
, no doubt about it 
!
... maybe he's just on top of his own schedule 
? Either way, more power to him 
! He's a true leader and a master of his craft 
I guess it's good that he's making the most of a weird situation tho. It shows he's still got it when it comes to adaptability and all that jazz. And 28 years on the job is no joke - the dude's been around for ages!
