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.

Hendry's impact will be obvious, because the only guys with full or limited NTCs on the Yankees right now are Kuroda. And Rodriguez. And Sabathia. And Texiera. And Burnett. And Jeter. And Rivera. And Swisher.
Or essentially every single major free agent the Yankees have signed (or re-signed) with the exception of Granderson, who signed his contract 5 years ago when he was only arbitration eligible.
Not a defense of Hendry. I just wish people would stop acting as if giving out a no trade clause was somehow unique to his tenure. It wasn't.

You can let him go now. We have a new front office.

If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
