While Brian Cashman remained mum about his future, the buzz smothering the Yankees New York Yankees universe yesterday focused on the GM telling the Steinbrenner family he wants to return.

An announcement could come as soon as tomorrow.

“Sooner than later,” Cashman said with a smile when asked about reaching a decision.

Hal Steinbrenner, who wants Cashman back, hasn’t made an offer. However, there are indications Cashman could tell Steinbrenner he wants to return and negotiate later.

With Hank Steinbrenner fading from the picture, Hal has been in touch with Cashman more than his older brother. Cashman and Hal work very well together and Hank hasn’t been involved in meetings with Hal and Cashman and his involvement has decreased.

Cashman is in the final leg of a three-year deal that paid him $5.4 million.

Friday, Cashman promised a quick decision when the season ended. Since yesterday’s game was rained out, the Yankees and Red Sox will end the regular season with a dual-gate doubleheader today.

Getting a GM in line is the first step in attempting to rebuild a team that underachieved this season and didn’t make the playoffs for the first time in 13 years.
