Brian Cashman focused on ‘weakness’ with Machado talk swirling

Brian Cashman would not answer any questions about his level of interest in Orioles star Manny Machado.

But he told The Post on Tuesday “my job is to attack weakness” and continued to describe the rotation as the priority for an upgrade.

Conversely, when asked if third base — where Machado would have to play for the Yankees — was a weakness, the Yankees general manager said: “I don’t think third base is a problem. I think it is a strength, not only with [Miguel] Andujar, but with [Brandon] Drury in the wings. And I would argue if all hell broke loose, Gleyber Torres could go there as well.
