NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Hal Steinbrenner isn’t saying the Yankees are interested in Yoenis Cespedes, but he’s not exactly doing anything to squash speculation.
The Yankees owner was asked Wednesday about the possibility of pursuing the free agent slugger, who played for the crosstown Mets last season.
At first, Steinbrenner jokingly changed the subject, Newsday reported.
“It’s a beautiful old building, don’t you think?” he said of the lobby at the Biltmore hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, where he was attending owners meetings.
