Cashman firm: A-Rod is not going anywhere

NEW YORK --

While Alex Rodriguez trade speculation heats up, the Yankees maintain they
want to keep him.

"I have received no offers," general manager Brian Cashman said yesterday.
"I've had calls of teams having interest. He's not available. That's what
I've said before. I guess I'll be saying it all winter, unless something
changes, and I don't anticipate that."

ESPN.com reported that new Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella expected the
Cubs to aggressively pursue Rodriguez. The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles
Angels of Anaheim also have been linked to Rodriguez, who is 3-for-29 in the
past two postseasons and was dropped to eighth in the order in Game 4 of this
year's AL Division Series.

Agent Scott Boras did not return a call. But he told si.com: "I think a lot
of teams want Alex Rodriguez. But the fact is, he has a no-trade (clause),
and he wants to stay in New York. He likes being a Yankee, he likes playing
in New York. He likes the environment, and he wants to win there. He's been
steadfast about what he wants to do."

In an entry on his Web site dated Oct. 11, Rodriguez wrote, "I am 100 percent
committed to being a Yankee now and in the future. I don't want to play
anywhere else. I never have (and never will) run away from the responsibility
I have to this team. I believe I am part of the solution to winning a
championship here. I want to finish my career in New York."

Jason Giambi will undergo surgery on his left wrist today, Cashman said.
Giambi may have a torn ligament in the wrist, which he injured in late
August. He hit just one homer in his final 27 regular-season games --
getting three anti-inflammatory injections in the wrist -- and was 1-for-8
with a homer in the AL Division Series.

Andy Phillips also will have surgery today, an arthroscopic procedure to
repair torn cartilage in a knee.

Cashman said Randy Johnson will have surgery on the herniated disk in his
lower back a week from today.

Reliever Scott Proctor was examined by a team physician and "has no problems,"
according to Cashman.

Cashman said he likely will address the coaching staff next week. The
contracts of all six coaches expire at the end of the month, and while
Cashman has said he liked the way the staff worked this year, he still
has to consult with owner George Steinbrenner.

First-base coach Tony Pena has had preliminary conversations with the
Washington Nationals about their managerial opening. Cashman said no other
teams have sought permission to talk to Yankees coaches.

The Yankees will go without an advance scout, instead having the pro
scouts handle the duties. Whoever is responsible for scouting a team
all season will also be responsible for preparing advance reports when
the Yankees are about to face that team. The Yankees decided not to bring
back their two advance scouts, Wade Taylor and Chuck Cottier.

Rick Williams, who had been a special assistant in the Tampa Bay front
office, has been added to the pro scouting staff, and Cashman said he will
make one other hire.

No. 1 draft pick Ian Kennedy has a 1.04 ERA through three appearances
 (one start) in the Hawaiian Winter League, having struck out 14 in 8 2/3
innings. Joba Chamberlain, the Yankees' second pick, is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA,
15 strikeouts and two walks in 10 innings over three relief appearances.
Former No. 1 pick Eric Duncan, from Seton Hall Prep, was off to a 6-for-27
 (.222) start in the Arizona Fall League. Outfielder Brett Gardner was
11-for-24 (.458) through seven games, with a .641 on-base percentage.
