The Yankees ownership has "full confidence" in general manager Brian Cashman, according to a team executive. The executive described the signing of reliever Rafael Soriano as "a disagreement, not a dispute." "Cash did not want to give up the [No. 1] draft pick," said the executive. "But at the end of the day, he didn't throw his body across the tracks over it, he just disagreed with it. It was a good faith dispute. Reasonable people can disagree." The executive went on to say: "Cash has not lost one iota of credibility or autonomy over this."
