Cashman On The Move Again
Maybe he just doesn't like the Bellagio, but Brian Cashman left Vegas before the Rule 5 Draft today. Who knows where he went, but it is a safe bet is was an attempt to recruit someone.
As for the Rule 5, the Yankees lost four players in the major league portion and two in the minor league. That is a good indication that the Yankees have a lot of talent in their minors. The Yankees couldn't take anyone because their 40-man was already full, which brings up an issue. When they officially sign some free agents they will need to remove some players from the 40-man. I would guess Duncan and Britton are goners, but after that it gets interesting. Chase Wright? Cervelli? I don't know where the Yankees go after that, but it is worth remembering that every player they sign means somebody has to go.
UPDATE: The Post has tracked him down in Houston, making a last effort to get Pettitte to sign.
