[洋基] Cashman addresses hot-button issues
Cashman addresses hot-button issues

I'm playing catch-up on this, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman spoke
on Thursday at the University of New Haven in Connecticut and addressed
several hot-button topics that fans have been curious about.
Via the Register Citizen's Joe Morelli, with a hat tip to the iYankees blog
for linking it first:
On not negotiating new contracts with Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera right
now, and some more context about Johnny Damon --
"The industry the last two free agent markets seems to be going downward and
the player's ages are going upward," Cashman said. "It makes more sense to be
patient. My attitude is if this is the place you want to be, you will make it
happen. Johnny Damon professed his love for the Yankees, wanted to be here
and was given every chance to be here. He's not here anymore and I don't feel
that is the Yankees' fault. They have to reconcile why they are not here, not
me.
"If people want to be here and be a part of something, then find a way to
work it out. Of course we want (Jeter, Rivera and Girardi) back, but we
choose to delay that until the end of the year."
On the Yankees' two-year, $14 million offer to Damon --
"I told (Damon and Boras), 'I don't know if Hal (Steinbrenner, the team's
part owner) would approve it, but I'm not going to fight for it unless we
know you will do it,'" Cashman said. "Scott Boras said, 'Bobby Abreu's (new)
contract is $9 million a year right now on the table so why would we do that?
So I expect to see a Bobby Abreu contract.' ... I hope he does not sign for
something less than our offer. That means he should have been a Yankee and
that's not our fault."
On how the Yankees' budget looks for 2010 --
"If you ask everyone in the room if they would rather not have Curtis
Granderson because he costs X amount of dollars and Andy Pettitte because he
costs X amount, that gives you more money to sign the left fielder who is
dear to your heart in Johnny Damon," Cashman said. "If you ask most people
right now, what would you rather have moving forward, I think they would say
they need Andy Pettitte for the rotation and Curtis Granderson because he's
an all-star center fielder who hit 30 homers at Comerica Park last year, who
steals bases and is (7) years younger. You can't have everything."
