Brian Cashman has been a little stingy this offseason when it comes to the New York Yankees payroll and salary cap, but apparently had to channel his inner George Steinbrenner when it came to settling with his ex-wife.
The Yankees general manager will fork over a whopping $1 million a year in alimony and child support to his now ex-wife, Mary Bresnan, under the divorce settlement they agreed to this week, court records obtained by The New York Post revealed.
While the money is certainly not exactly in the A-Rod stratosphere, it means Cashman — whose wife dumped him after she found out about a fling he had with a woman last year —will be sending a check of $83,333.33 to Bresnan until Halloween 2025 — unless she remarries.
The annual payout works out to a hefty $999,999.96 per year — but still only half as much as the median salary of a Yankees player last season.
While any divorce is sad — especially with two young kids involved — it sounds like the ex did okay.
