General Manager Brian Cashman told Andy Martino of SNY on Monday night what we all figured would be the case this offseason: the Yankees will be players in the sweepstakes for both free-agent starting pitchers Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com has the full quote from Cashman:
Asked of his interest in Cole and/or Strasburg, Brian Cashman said: “Of course were going to talk to Strasburg, we’ll talk to Cole, we’ll talk to the higher-end guys, clearly. We’ll also talk about some surprise guys, I’m sure … Anybody would have interest in players like that.
