“Our team is, for the most part, set,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday by phone from his office at Yankee Stadium.
“With the money we had to spend, we chose to spend it in those spots,” Cashman said. “We’re just playing with the bench right now.”
“We have a left fielder,” Cashman said, adding, “We do like Brett Gardner.”
It looks as if Brett Gardner will be the opening Day left fielder. All hopes of a slugging outfielder are gone. I didn’t expect Bay or Halladay, but DeJesus would have pleased me.
Some other notes:
- Former Yankee, Raul Mondesi is a rising star again — in Dominican Republic politics. “And both of the Dominican Republic’s main political parties were only too happy to assist, with one helping him twice win election to the country’s national Chamber of Deputies and another luring him away to run for mayor of the country’s sixth-largest city.”
