Girardi says trades possible, even with Yanks' bullpen

NEW YORK — With the New York Yankees locked into players at most positions, manager Joe Girardi says trades are a possibility.

"I think we're always trying to figure out ways to improve the club and sometimes it's not necessarily through the free-agent route," he said Tuesday. "It can be through trade routes, and we had some success in the trades that we made last year."

On a chilly, rainy morning, Girardi was thinking ahead to spring training and the pursuit of the team's first title since 2009.

"Obviously I like the guys on our club and I love how hard they played last year for us, but the goal is to win and to win a World Series," Girardi said.
