If Cashman’s statement hints at anything, it is that the Yankees are going to touch on their every possibility before making a final decision.
Cashman has already contacted Carlos, Corey, and Trevor
The Yankees controversy around shortstop continues, as Cashman said he has contacted the top free agents- Carlos, Corey, and Trevor.
“We are definitely casting a wide net and having conversations. That means free agents, that means trades, that means looking at what we have internally. So, we’re going to have to come up with a better version than what we ended with. That’s the job,” Cashman said.
