Yanks' Cashman 'not optimistic' on Derrek Lee
Derrek Lee - 1B - Pittsburgh Pirates
March 11, 2013 - 11:25 AM ET
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he's "not optimistic" the club will sign Derrek Lee.
Cashman confirmed a report that he has reached out to the pseudo-retired first baseman, and on Monday he didn't rule out the possibility of signing him. It doesn't sound likely to happen, though. Lee batted .267 with 19 home runs over 113 games in 2011 for the Orioles and Pirates before taking 2012 off.
