Hendry signed by Yankees as speacial assistant to GM Cashman.
Appears that Hendry is still well thought of in most baseball circles but he couldn't get it done when the Cubs acted as misers nor when they spent like drunken sailors. Have fun with the Yankees. Overall, I don't think Hendry was a bad GM - he made some good trades and some terrible free agent signings - but it was time for Jim and the Cubs to depart.
When we see Yankees giving out NTC like candy on all their deals, I'll believe that Jim is making a mark on their organization.
