The New York Yankees are ending their involvement with former MLB general managers Omar Minaya and Brian Sabean, with multiple outlets reporting the team will not renew their contracts or keep them in advisory roles.
Several reports tie the move to a broader front-office shakeup following the team’s 2026 performance. Yahoo Sports and other Yahoo listings describe Minaya and Sabean as special assistants or advisors to Yankees GM Brian Cashman, a relationship that began in 2023. The New York Post frames the change as occurring “after a 2026 flop,” and emphasizes that Cashman is expected to return on a new deal even as the surrounding front office changes.
Across coverage, the consistent points are that Minaya and Sabean are being let go, that Cashman remains in place but with altered staffing around him, and that the team is looking ahead to future expectations for other personnel. Different outlets vary mainly in emphasis—some focus on the contract non-renewal and staffing details, while others foreground the context of the 2026 season.
