Latest Yankees Info

Peter Abraham was in on the Brian Cashman briefing; his blog posts can be found here and here.

• Option decisions are due on Jason Giambi, Carl Pavano, and Damaso Marte by November 14th.  The only uncertainty is with Marte's $6MM option.  George King reported yesterday that the Yankees are unlikely to exercise it.  Abraham says Cashman indicated that Marte could be signed to a new contract if the option is declined.  I imagine it'd take multiple years to entice him.
• There have been no conversations between the Yankees and Bobby Abreu's agents.  Abreu is looking for a three-year deal, so he'll probably be cashed in for draft picks.
• Center field is not considered a priority; the Yanks like their in-house options.
• Cashman wants to acquire two starters; right now he considers Chien-Ming Wang and Joba Chamberlain his rotation.
• Eric Milton and Victor Zambrano are free agents again.
