NEW YORK — Yankees team president Randy Levine ripped the media while saying it's too soon for the club to decide whether it will buy or sell at the trade deadline.
Levine also said the Yankees are capable of playing better and that the team is still in the playoff hunt.
"I don't pay any attention to that," Levine said at Yankee Stadium on Monday, referring to suggestions that the organization should consider selling off assets.
With 88 games to play, the Yankees (37-37) are in fourth place in the American League East, trailing the division-leading Orioles by 7 1/2 games.
