Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman was set Wednesday to meet with free agent Texas Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee, MLB.com reported.
The Web site, citing an unnamed baseball source, said the Yankees' boss would meet with the left-handed ace and his agent, Darek Braunecker, in Arkansas.
Cashman has said signing Lee, who guided the Rangers past New York and into the World Series this season, is a top priority for the Yankees this offseason. The team didn't waste much time, reportedly first reaching out to him Sunday night only minutes after free agents rules allowed.
The 32-year-old was a perfect 7-0 in the postseason before losing twice in the World Series to the San Francisco Giants, compiling a 12-9 with a 3.18 ERA in 28 starts for the Mariners and Rangers, including seven complete games, MLB.com noted.
Texas CEO Chuck Greenberg and team President Nolan Ryan have also vowed to retain the services of their free-agent ace.
