Yankees GM Brian Cashman will pay over $1M a year to ex in divorce settlement

Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman will fork over a whopping $1 million a year in alimony and child support to his now-ex-wife, Mary Bresnan, under the divorce settlement they signed off on this week, court records obtained by The Post reveal.

That means Cashman — whose wife dumped him when his cheating ways were exposed by an alleged extortionist with whom he’d had a fling last year — will be wire-transferring a total of $83,333.33 every month to Bresnan until Halloween 2025, or until she remarries.

The payout works out to a cool $999,999.96 per year — about $1 million less than the median salary of a Bronx Bomber player last year.

Bresnan will owe income taxes on the payments and Cashman can claim them as a deduction, court records state.

Cashman, 45, also has agreed to keep Bresnan as the beneficiary of a life-insurance policy on him in the amount of $2.25 million until her remarriage, death or Oct. 31, 2025, whichever comes first.

And within the next three months, the Yankee honcho must apply for new term life-insurance policy with a $2.75 million benefit, and list the 42-year-old mother of his two kids as the sole beneficiary under the same conditions as the other policy. But he will be allowed to reduce the value of the new policy’s benefit by $200,000 each year.

Bresnan, whose dad, William, was a high-powered cable TV executive, also gets ownership of the couple’s $3.7 million house in Darien, Conn.

But Cashman, who earns $3 million a year as Yankee GM, isn’t walking away from the marriage empty-handed — he will keep about $1.4 million from the couple’s bank account — and a split of their joint Goldman Sachs investment account, records show.

And Cashman “shall retain the club membership at Winged Foot” — the exclusive, invitation-only Westchester County golf club.

The eye-popping numbers are contained in the couple’s final divorce papers, which were filed Tuesday in Stamford Superior Court in Connecticut.

That’s the same day the couple’s split was finalized, as The Post exclusively reported.

Bresnan’s lawyer, Gaetano “Guy” Ferro, declined to comment, as did Cashman’s spokesman, Chris Giglio.

Bresnan had stayed with Cashman even after allegations in 2009 that he was cheating on her with Westchester soccer mom Kim Brennan.

But she clearly had enough in February 2012, when an erratic Louise Meanwell was arrested and charged with allegedly extorting more than $6,000 from Cashman in exchange for keeping quiet about their purported affair.

Bresnan promptly reverted to her maiden name.

The couple is sharing custody of their two kids — Grace, 14, and 9-year-old Theodore — but the children will live with their mom.

Cashman also is on the hook for the kids’ medical insurance under terms of the divorce.

And he must pay “all of the educational expenses of each child . . . at a private primary and secondary school,” the judgment states.

Cashman and Bresnan will split — 50/50 — the costs of their kids’ college educations and any post-graduate degrees they seek.
