[外電] Cashman Lacked Power to Make Deals

[Tukiyomi (月讀)]

In a situation that highlights how much has changed for the big-budget
Yankees, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman came to the winter meetings in
Nashville with his hands so fully tied that he lacked the authority to make
offers to free agents.

    Cashman沒被授權開合約

The situation was first brought to light by agent Scott Boras, who quietly
suggested Wednesday that Cashman lacked the power to make offers.

“He had indicated that right now, he’s working with ownership on getting
advance authority. He really is not involved in a lot of dealing right now,
but is doing due diligence to go back and meet with them about that,” Boras
said Wednesday.

    Scott Boras表示，Cashman跟高層要求進一步談合約的權利

On Thursday, people within the Yankees organization confirmed that this was
in fact true: Cashman arrived in Nashville unable to make offers to players,
and without that power, targets like Jeff Keppinger and Eric Chavez took
deals elsewhere.

    球團人士證實了這個消息，Cashman在冬季會議裡沒辦法開合約給他想要的選手

The Yankee general manager went back to ownership and made his case, and
Cashman was allowed to move forward with offers – the Yankees made a
one-year, $12 million offer to third baseman Kevin Youkilis Thursday morning.

    Keppinger和Chavez被簽走後Cashman回頭跟高層談判
    終於被授權，開出了一年12M的合約給Youkilis

Another Yankee official downplayed the seriousness of the situation, saying
that most general managers would have to go back to ownership to vet
potential deals.

“What does Scott Boras know? Are you kidding me?” the official said,
arguing that Boras is trying to stir things up because he lacks good markets
for his players. “The only reason that Cash didn’t have the authority at
that point, if you want to use the word authority, is that he wasn’t making
any offers, there was nobody out there that he thought, at these prices, that
he should make offers on.”

But another official confirmed that this represents a departure for the
Yankees, who have given Cashman more authority in the past.

The Yankees are working to get under a $189 million payroll ceiling by 2014,
but it was not clear until recently how much that frugality would affect the
2013 payroll as well. Combined with the significant money other teams are
spending in free agency, the Yankees have been on the outside looking in so
far this winter.
