The New York Yankees are wasting no time in taking steps to correct what they believe to be the glaring flaw in their $210 million baseball team. "It's always pitching," general manager Brian Cashman had said outside the visitors clubhouse shortly after the Yankees were eliminated from the American League Championship Series by the Texas Rangers on Oct. 21. "It's always going to be pitching." As such, the Yankees contacted the agent for Cliff Lee on Sunday, the first day of the free-agent negotiating period, according to a report by The Associated Press. Lee, a 32-year-old left-hander who compiled a 12-9 record and 3.18 ERA for the Seattle Mariners and Rangers this year, is considered the prize of this winter's free-agent crop, and a starting pitcher the Yankees have coveted since he beat them twice as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2009 World Series. Neither Cashman nor Darek Braunecker, Lee's agent, was immediately available for comment Sunday night. The AP attributed its report to a baseball official familiar with the negotiation who spoke on condition of anonymity. But Cashman has not been circumspect about what he thought the No. 1 priority for his team would be this winter. "It's all about pitching. Pitching, pitching, pitching," he said at his first postseason news conference. "Pitching is the key to the kingdom, which is why you try to collect as much of it as you can." Limited to negotiating with his own employees since the end of the World Series, Cashman has re-signed manager Joe Girardi to a three-year contract, discharged pitching coach Dave Eiland, and begun talks with the representative for Derek Jeter, who for the first time in his 16-year major league career is a free agent. And not surprisingly, as soon as he got the chance to negotiate with an outside free agent, has reportedly made an overture to Lee. According to the AP story, the message was conveyed that the Yankees would be making an offer to Lee, the 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5778335&campaign=rss&source=MLBHeadlines -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.133.13.131
