He worked for nyc (I think in Giuliani’s office?) and was responsible for negotiating with the Yankees for the new stadium. Then he worked for the Yankees immediately afterwards. You can draw conclusions just from that. He seemed to be hanks proxy when George passed and Hal took over. Levine now handles a lot of the player contracts and negotiates on the yanks behalf when arbitration cases occur. And for some odd reason, he gets a vote in major decisions in the front office (along with scouting, analytics, coaches, etc). Hal and cash love him since Levine has no issue taking the bullets and bad press. I can’t stand him.
