For most of the week, Brian Cashman could walk across the lobby of the Wyndham Anatole without being bothered. This was strange, since the Yankees are usually one of the busier teams in the offseason, but things have been different this winter.
Yesterday, however, the Bombers finally made a little noise. They completed a trade to send Tony Womack to Cincinnati and, in a move designed to shore up their bullpen, the Bombers agreed to a two-year deal with lefthanded specialist Mike Myers believed to be for about $2.5 million. The Yanks did not make an official announcement, but they had an eye on Myers for weeks and were waiting to see if the Red Sox offered him arbitration; when Boston did not, it allowed the Yanks to move in and add the veteran without forfeiting a draft pick to their division rivals.
Myers said the Yankees were always at the top of his list of potential destinations. When he saw the amount of turnover taking place in Boston, it made coming to the Bronx even more attractive.
