New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is accustomed to getting what he wants.
He wanted stud outfielder Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres — so he got him. Now he appears all-in on acquiring Japanese phenom Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the consensus top pitcher available on the free agent market.
Cashman — along with a team headlined by Yankee legend Hideki Matsui — met with Yamamoto once on December 11, the first of many pitches the 25-year-old heard last week. Now, the Yankees and Yamamoto are reportedly set to meet again, per SNY’s Andy Martino.
