Brian Cashman accepts Pat Murphy’s apology for saying 2023 Yankees had selfish culture

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has accepted an apology from Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy. Murphy had criticized the 2023 Yankees for having a selfish culture during Milwaukee's World Series celebration on October 28. Murphy, who made the comments to former Yankee Jake Bauers on a live microphone, reached out within 12 hours to apologize, explaining he was merely trying to motivate his player.

Speaking at the general managers meetings in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Cashman called the apology meaningful and noted Murphy's quick response. Cashman also provided updates on New York's roster and front office, confirming his own new contract has been finalized and announcing that left-hander Max Fried underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from his pitching elbow.
