Inside the Hottest Rivalry in Sports.

With spring training around the corner, general managers Brian Cashman of the New York Yankees and Theo Epstein of the Boston Red Sox, archrivals as well as friends, provide a rare opportunity for an audience to hear their insights as successful and young baseball executives. They’ll talk about the challenges of building a championship team and the pressure to win in a rivalry that began almost a century ago. The conversation will be moderated by Kevin Burkhardt, Mets field reporter for SportsNet NY (SNY) and an alumnus of William Paterson University.

Brian Cashman

At age 31, the Yankees’s Cashman became the youngest GM ever to win a World Series, and the only one ever to do so in each of his first three seasons.

Theo Epstein

In 2002, the Red Sox made Epstein at age 28 the youngest GM in major league history. In 2004, he engineered Boston’s first World Series championship in 86 years.
