Brian Cashman Divorce: Mary Cashman, Wife Of Yankees GM, Files For Divorce

NEW YORK -- The wife of Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has filed divorce papers, a day after prosecutors charged a woman with stalking him and extorting money over an extramarital affair.

Mary Cashman filed the paperwork Friday in Stamford, Conn.

Her lawyer didn't immediately return a phone message Saturday. A spokesman for Brian Cashman says the family wouldn't have any comment.

On Thursday, 36-year-old Louise Neathway was charged with harassing Cashman and threatening to harm his reputation if he didn't give her thousands of dollars.

Neathway's lawyers deny it and say Cashman turned on her when their relationship ended badly.

A person familiar with the family says Cashman and his wife have been separated and living apart for a year. The person asked not to be named because of the private nature of the matter.

Brentwood, clearly you don't know Mary at all. She is a wonderful person, great friend, mother and wife. Marriage is hard- it really does not matter what line of work you are in. Marriage takes work on both sides. Obviously Brian did not take his marriage vows seriously.
You go Mary! We are on your side :-)

Guess his wife knew he was a cheater, and it isn't likely his first time. Get prepared to pay big-time, Brian; hope it was worth it.

Guy got screwed, like Kobe and Iverson. Pro sports is stressful. Guy needs to relax without the wife demanding half of what he owns. Five years his wife'll be broke again, and looking for some other poor sap to latch onto and suck dry. Family'd be penniless if he wasn't out there working.
