An agent said Cashman told him he can not spend money. Seems like he needs approval for any outlays.

Even if this does represent something new in YankeeLand -- and I have my doubts, because Cashman probably always had to ask permission before making significant outlays back in the big-spending days -- this comment sort of makes me chuckle.
Might it be the case that “Cashman told an agent he can’t spend money” is the equivalent of a girl telling a guy “I’m just not interested in dating anyone right now?” In both cases, the effort could very well be made for the right guy, but He/She is just not that into you, dude.
Seriously, though, the Yankees are in deep, deep trouble and will likely have to field a team of six position players next Opening Day.
