Brian Cashman: What will decide Patrick Corbin sweepstakes
Patrick CorbinSTAMFORD, Conn. — The way Brian Cashman sees it, cotton and linen are thicker than blood.
Sure, the Yankees’ general manager doesn’t mind that Patrick Corbin, the free-agent left-hander who visited Yankee Stadium on Thursday, has many family members rooting for him to wind up in The Bronx. Yet Cashman said Friday morning that he isn’t counting on such sentiment to close the desired deal.
In between trips rappelling down the Landmark Building here, Cashman addressed The Athletic’s report that Corbin’s younger brother used his best-man speech at Patrick’s wedding earlier this month to recruit on the Yankees’ behalf by throwing on a Yankees cap for the toast.
