If you had to guess, how much money do you think the Yankees are paying Jean Afterman on an annual basis? Related, what do you think she does for the Yankees each day that she reports to work? She can’t be working on player contracts 260 days a year, can she? What else does she do for the Yankees? What makes her useful as an assistant G.M.? And, what makes her unique and useful to the organization? Does anyone know the answers to these questions?
I would imagine 6 figures. Didn’t realize she’s been with the organization since 2001.

Says her background’s in negotiations and business law, so I imagine she’s doing something in that capacity with the Yankees.
Damn…

She negotiates with draftees and Japanese players, and is a “compliance officer.”
