Does a player who was part of that deserve to wear Yankees pinstripes and make about $25 million for a bunch of years?
“My job is to find a way to make us as quality as we can year in and year out,” Cashman said. “So we’re going to vet every opportunity out there. First and foremost, find out if that can match.
