There is no rift in the Yankees front office in the wake of the team's signing of reliever Rafael Soriano, according to a team executive. There had been reports that there was a disagreement between general manager Brian Cashman and co-owners Hank and Hal Steinbrenner over the decision. It was reported that Cashman vetoed the signing, which will force the Yankees to give up a first-round draft pick. "He stated his case," the source said of Cashman. "But he understood. It's not like he threw a body block to stop it."
