Brian Cashman’s phone chirps continuously and a bevy of text messages are announced with a ding. This is the season for the Yankees GM to field calls from clubs looking to deal and agents peddling their clients.
Cashman informed other GMs in October he was will to talk about “anything,’’ and that has kept him busy.
“Very,’’ Cashman said Thursday when asked how heavy the action has been. “Open to anything doesn’t mean you will do anything. I don’t know.’’
With the industry expecting the Yankees to upgrade a rotation that is smothered by question marks from top to bottom, the club is searching for a way to improve that unit while attempting to determine the trade market for Ivan Nova.
