As the Yankees have struggled for the first three months of the season, Derek Jeter has heard theories about how they can emerge from their slumber. The players should have a meeting. The players should critique or motivate one another. The players should do something. Maybe, Jeter said, the Yankees already have done it.
?They think they know who is saying this and who is saying that,? Jeter said of the team?s critics. ?They think somebody should say this or say that. In reality, people have no idea what?s going on.?
Jeter acknowledged, grudgingly, that there was something going on. There are daily discussions happening on a team that has underachieved, and Jeter initiates many of them. While Jeter, the team?s captain, did not specify whom he had spoken to or what the topics had been, he said that he spoke ?to people constantly? to cajole or counsel.

Brian Cashman is monitoring the trade market on a daily basis, but the Yankees' general manager believes that unless his team starts playing up to snuff, there isn't a trade possibility that will be enough to reverse the Bombers' fortunes.
"We just need to play to our abilities," Cashman said. "We've only done it for 16 days; that's it the whole season. If we don't do that, it doesn't matter what I end up doing at first base or in the bullpen. It won't matter. We need to focus on fixing the guys we have here and moving in the right direction."

GM Brian Cashman made it clear during an ESPN-1050 interview yesterday that he and Torre could be on the firing line.
"I think we are all, obviously, on watch," Cashman told Michael Kay. "I don't think anybody would deny that. I think right now with what is taking place with this club right now, I think everybody currently shouldn't feel very comfortable and I don't think anybody does. That's the bottom line."
Told of Cashman's comments, Joe Torre said he didn't feel any additional pressure.
"I don't sense that anybody is worried about coaches getting fired or players getting traded," Torre said.
