The baseball world has descended on Orlando, Florida for the peak of hot stove activity, the Winter Meetings. Upon his arrival, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman did his best to assuage fans' concerns.
Hal Steinbrenner's been making cryptic comments about profits, and it's convinced many in the Yankees' universe that there is a budget in place.
