"The Yankees moved closer to a deal with Brian Cashman to remain as their general manager and also worked on a plan for answering their biggest on-field question of the offseason - CC Sabathia's future - during an organizational meeting Wednesday at the team's complex in Tampa.

Cashman's new contract, believed to be for at least three years, is "just about" complete, said a baseball official with knowledge of the pact, and could be announced as soon as the World Series is over, perhaps as early as this week.

"It'll get done," the person said."
