NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Three months later and talk of the Yankees trading for White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana has not dissipated.
Two days after the New York Post reported that Chicago is scouting the Bronx Bombers for possible trade targets in a Quintana deal, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he’s always looking to upgrade the team’s talent — and conceded that starting pitching has the most room for improvement.
“I tell our players: ‘My job is to find players better than you at all times,’ whether it’s in A-ball, all the way through the big-league level,” Cashman told Rickie Ricardo, the Spanish radio play-by-play voice of the Yankees, on Friday.
