The Yankees and Mets have held trade conversations.
But that’s nothing out of the ordinary, says Brian Cashman.
While speaking at an event in Manhattan on Thursday, the Yankees’ general manager told Neil Best of Newsday that he recently spoke to the Mets’ executives, solely as due diligence on his end.
“I’ve been engaged with all clubs, including the Mets,” Cashman said. “It’s the job, and if you can, you match up your ownership recommendations on both ends and see if it takes you anywhere. I have been talking with Sandy [Alderson]. I’ve also been talking with [special assistant] Omar Minaya.
