Brian Cashman didn’t ‘accomplish anything’ for Yankees at winter meetings

ORLANDO, Fla. — They came, they saw, they left?

There are still a few hours remaining before the winter meetings wrap up and the Yankees contingent flies back to New York, but it certainly appears that the club will not have anything tangible to show for it, though they are far from alone in that regard as general manager Brian Cashman described the market as moving at a “glacial speed.”

“I haven’t accomplished anything,” Cashman said Wednesday morning. “We’re just staying engaged, trying to match up with some things, but it’s been tough so far. Don’t like the asks coming our way and I guess the opposing teams, what I’m trying to pull from them on the trade stuff, they’re not liking currently.

“But we do have some conversations that possibly could lead somewhere. But clearly if we had something, we would have done it.”

The Yankees’ biggest target is Cody Bellinger, but there has been little indication that his market has moved all that much, even after Kyle Schwarber — who some executives and agents thought could be the domino to other moves happening — re-signed with the Phillies on Tuesday.

In part because of their internal left field options like Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones, the Yankees appear willing to wait on Bellinger instead of overspending just to lock him up now.

And Cashman indicated that they are in a position to make moves while waiting on Bellinger — unlike last winter, when their offseason was held up waiting on a decision by Juan Soto.

“I think we’re opportunistic,” Cashman said. “We like our players, that is a fact. But there’s players outside of our current control system that we also like and may very well like more and better because there’s a lot more certainty there, which comes at a cost, whether it’s a trade acquisition or free-agent dollars. So it’s my job to play on that stuff and try to figure that out.

“If we come to an area that, ‘This makes a lot of sense,’ then we’re ready to pounce and change the equation. But if not, we like what we have, too, at the same time. Jasson Domínguez is on his journey and Spencer Jones is just beginning his journey. Those are two names.

“But I got no idea how this is going to play out.”
