NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As the baseball universe checked into the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center on Sunday, holiday music filled the enormous campus that houses the Winter Meetings.

Last month at the GM meetings in Florida, Brian Cashman said he was open to anything. Recently at the owners’ meeting in Dallas, Hal Steinbrenner strongly hinted that until considerable dollars melt off the Yankees’ bloated payroll, high-end free agents wouldn’t be landing in The Bronx.
