There is a disconnect between how Brian Cashman is viewed within the game, where he is considered an elite head of baseball operations, and on social media, where, well, generally he is portrayed as an incompetent nincompoop.

Of course, social media is where subtlety and nuance go to die.

Cashman is celebrating his 25th anniversary as Yankees GM this year and he is as polarizing as ever.

The subject of his ability is akin to arguing pretty much about any charged political issue — if a person comes with the opposite viewpoint, no amount of logic or facts will change that opinion.
