Yankees Looking To Use Surplus Pitching Depth For Bat
Sep 25, 2014 4:26 PM
Brian Cashman says his preference is to add a hitter to the Yankees lineup via trade using his surplus of pitching.
Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Raul Ibanez are available options on the free-agent market.
"Not that any of those players aren't quality, but I do think it is probably in our interest first to see what's available in the trade market, because we have excess starters -- there should be a demand," Cashman said.
A.J. Burnett could be the leading candidate for a trade, although he is owed $33 million over the remainder of his contract. Phil Hughes is a candidate as well.
