Jacoby Ellsbury has a full no-trade clause, but the New York Yankees may still entertain the idea of unloading his contract in a deal this offseason.

Brian Cashman said Tuesday that he hadn't broached the topic with Ellsbury or Scott Boras.

"I haven't even approached Scott," Cashman said. "They have the full no-trade for a reason and I would walk through that process with the highest level of communication and respect because of it. And so I haven't connected with Scott at all, but I know he's here somewhere. I know I'll get a chance to talk to him before I leave, just generally about everything Scott Boras-related for the winter, and I'm sure we'll also talk about Jacoby as well."

"We haven't had any discussions other than status quo, as far as I'm concerned," Boras said.

Ellsbury hit .264/.348/.402 in the fourth year of his seven-year, $153 million contract this past season.

"We ended with the current setup of [Aaron] Judge in right, [Aaron] Hicks in center and Gardy [Brett Gardner] in left for a reason," Cashman said. "They were the best that we had. I think we would anticipate going in that way again."
