George A. King of the NY Times recently spoke with Yankees vice president and assistant GM Michael Fishman, about the club’s very right-handed lineup.
“Ultimately, we are trying to find the best players. If it can balance the lineup, even better. It’s good to balance the lineup with another lefty.’’
With Brett Gardner back in the fold for at least one more season, and Mike Tauchman likely to act as the team’s fourth outfielder, the Yankees could be in the market for another reliable left-handed stick to break up their glut of right-handers.
