I dont pick and choose what to tell them. I tell them everything, always. So if somebody wants to make us an offer on any of our players, I will make sure theyre informed.New York began the night fourth in the AL East at 40-42, seven games behind division-leading Baltimore and 4 1/2 games back for the leagues second wild card. The Yankees peaked when they were two games over .500 at 4-2.Weve been a .500 team, obviously, and right now our record right now has us a tick below .500, Cashman said in a telephone interview.

Thats always a fluid conversation, he said.In the winter time, I was on the record saying Im open to considering everything and anything. And that was the case this winter, and that has not changed in season. But obviously with the trade deadline approaching, organizations have to decide are they adding or are they subtracting.By action, youll see over the next coming weeks, teams will obviously declare themselves by their actions.He did not think any possible trades would come in a flurry.If you have the right deal, you pull the trigger, he said. I doubt that all comes at the same moment. ' ' '
