The Yankees finalized their one-year, $750,000 agreement with Miguel Cairo yesterday. Cashman wouldn't say who Cairo will replace on the 40-man roster.
Pitching prospect J.B. Cox did not receive an invitation to spring training because of a fracture in a bone in his throwing hand. Cashman would not disclose how Cox injured his hand, but said that the second-round draft pick was not undergoing disciplinary action.
Cashman said Cox is healing and expected to start his throwing program the first week in February. Cox was 6-2 with a 1.75 ERA and three saves with the Trenton Thunder last season.
