Yankees doing due diligence, but no deals close

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Yankees arrived for the Winter Meetings with "things percolating" on their Hot Stove, in the words of general manager Brian Cashman. It remains to be seen if those ideas will necessitate a visit to the press conference podium before they leave town.

Cashman spent his first afternoon of the Winter Meetings sequestered in his suite at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, continuing to cast a wide net in efforts to upgrade New York's roster. Among the most tantalizing rumors: that the Yankees have checked in with the Marlins about right-hander Jose Fernandez's availability.
