LAS VEGAS — The Yankees have had dialogue on Rangers star shortstop Corey Seager, investigated the market for second baseman that include star free agents Brandon Lowe and Luis Arraez, looked at right-handed-hitting catchers, including Carson Kelly, who could pair with Austin Wells, and undoubtedly inquired on bullpen help. So they are extremely active in talks.
But can they actually do anything significant yet? That seems to be a major question.
Some in fact are suggesting the Yankees are one of a number of teams in a virtual holding pattern until the rules for 2027 and beyond are set. Meantime, general manager Brian Cashman told The Post, flat out, “I have not been told that.”
Later, in the full media session, Cashman repeated the phrase “business as usual” several times to describe how he’s handling these GM meetings in this unusual offseason with a lockout coming Dec. 1 that’s going to shut down the sport. And by all accounts he is operating exactly as he would in a more normal offseason — talking to agents and other GMs about signings and trades, working the Aria hotel and gathering info so that he can pounce on opportunities.
