The Yankees have re-signed general manager Brian Cashman to a three-year contract.

Cashman has been New York's GM since 1998, when the Yankees won the World Series in his first season. He has built three more championship teams, most recently in 2009.

The Yankees have missed the post-season the last two seasons, the first time they've done that since 1992-93. Now he has to turn around a roster that was one of the lightest hitting in the AL and fix a rotation that had four of five members spend time on the disabled list.

The 47-year-old Cashman has been in his job longer than every GM in baseball except San Francisco's Brian Sabean and Oakland's Billy Beane.
