Brian Cashman missed November's general manager meetings, and while he was in attendance in Orlando for the Winter Meetings, typically the part of the year where hot stove season reaches a fever pitch, the New York Yankees executive might as well have sat this one out as well.
The Yankees have come away without any major signings or trades. They nabbed Cade Winquest, a minor league hurler from the St. Louis Cardinals, in the Rule 5 Draft. The only rumor of substance they've been involved in is the strange interest in Colorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle, because what team doesn't need a replacement-level outfielder?
