02/04: Cashman: No Manny, Yankees in "Non-Roster-Invite Mode"
Posted by: Patrick
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch has the following quotes from Brian Cashman, who appeared at a charity fundraiser on Tuesday.
"Ultimately, we've made our decision," Cashman said. "We chose to put that money into Mark Teixeira to play first base. I do hear rumblings [that] people actually expect us to get in on Manny. That's not going to happen.
"We respect his abilities, there's no doubt about it, but we're now in the non-roster-invite mode. ... We've secured the areas of need and hopefully put ourselves in a better position. We're not playing on any Major League free agents, other than non-roster invites."
