| 30th November, 2005 - 2:29 pm |  NY Daily News - Some debate remains over the context and clarity of Joe Torre's reported remarks concerning a potential move to center field for either Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, but Yankees GM Brian Cashman made it very clear yesterday that - regardless of what Torre did or did not say - neither of the Yanks' superstars is going anywhere.
"We've never talked about it and we're not considering it and it's not happening," Cashman said flatly. "It's as simple as that."
The source of the discussion was a story written by a reporter from Reuters, an international wire service, which appeared late Monday night. In it, Torre was quoted as saying as that the Yankees "have thought about" filling their gaping hole in center field with either Jeter or Rodriguez. He also reportedly said, "It certainly is a consideration" and noted that other star infielders have made similar shifts.
Cashman said he woke up yesterday morning and was "shocked" when he learned of the story. He said he immediately called Torre to ask about the quotes and was told by the manager that the story was "untrue." [READ] |
