Josh Hamilton's Response to Brian Cashman's

Even though the primary focus on this site is the game of baseball, there are issues that happen off the field that become a part of the conversation. Yesterday, two such issues came to light with Yankees GM Brian Cashman and Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Back in September, Deadspin reported on a story regarding Brian Cashman having an affair with an unnamed woman. At the time, I noted how no other media outlet other than Deadspin ran this story. In doing some research, I was told one of the major news outlets in this town elected to pass on the story for fear of repercussions by the Yankees. Deadspin has no such concerns, since they don't need clubhouse access (which the Yankees won't grant anyway) to conduct their business.
