NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: Hopefully Santa Cashman will be delivering DJ LeMahieu under our trees, and not a lump of coal. He reset the negotiations the other day in an interview, saying there was “no guarantee” that things would work out. Although he reiterated that the team wants LeMahieu back, his optimism was lukewarm at best. Kuty also wrote a piece that’s worth checking out with some quotes from Cashman’s appearance on MLB Network Radio, in which he described his general negotiation strategy and his own “naughty and nice” lists.
