we’re not desperate for Cliff Lee Cashman said.

Question

Why did Cashman the Yankees' owner say that they are not desperate for Cliff lee?

Answer 1

Here’s Brian Cashman, talking about the Yankees’ need for Cliff Lee. “I don’t feel like we are in a desperate situation here. I think we have a lot of quality players on this team that won 95 games and fell two games short of a World Series.” To the extent that you’re never “desperate” when you’re the New York Yankees and that one player does not make all the difference in the world, yes, he’s right.
