NEW YORK -- When teams dangle veteran stars for prospects this offseason,?New York Yankees?general manager Brian Cashman will do his best to say no.New York missed the playoffs for the third time in four years and at 84-78 finished four games out of an AL wild card.The Yankees struggled to a 9-17 start, then improved in the final two months of the season after bringing up catcher Gary Sanchez, right fielder Aaron Judge and first baseman Tyler Austin.First-base prospect Greg Bird, a late 2015 sensation, returns following shoulder surgery, and more youth could bubble up from the minors during the season.Right now, a veteran pitcher such as White Sox ace Chris Sale probably is not a good fit for the rebuilding Baby Bombers.We have an exciting, young nucleus thats coming, Some of its arrived, some of its still coming, Cashman said Wednesday.Youd have to be one piece away, and I would not recommend that type of decision-making as we approach the 2017 season. I think that would be a dangerous approach.Cashman spoke for nearly an hour, assessing 2016 -- our offense was bad; we had a bad offensive team -- and detailing his approach for 2017. He anticipates competitions among young players for first base and right field during spring training.There will be some hesitancy to forego giving the kids a chance to take it, and certainly that can create some problems if they dont, he said. But that doesnt preclude me from being open-minded to any and all opportunities that present themselves.Seven years removed from its last World Series title, the Yankees traded Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller, Carlos Beltran and Ivan Nova for prospects during the summer and released Alex Rodriguez.They cut payroll to roughly $224 million and saved $2.38 million in luxury tax in the process, but still will pay about $26.5 million.Yankees average home attendance dropped from 41,995 in Derek Jeters final season in 2014 to 39,430 last year and 37,820 this season.Average viewers on the YES Network fell from 288,000 in 2014 to 259,000 the following year to 218,000 this season -- Mets games on SNY averaged 263,850 this year, up from 242,667 in 2015. (Comcast dropped the YES Network this season in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.)They wanted us to press that reset button and in many cases tired of seeing what was transpiring in the first few months of this year, the been-there, done-that, its time to do something that was not part of our DNA, Cashman said.He likened this period to the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the Yankees failed to make the playoffs until a renaissance led by Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada.I remember when I was the assistant farm director while we were collecting a lot of the talent like what we collected, Cashman said. Who knew we were actually sitting on a dynasty waiting to happen? None of us.Cashman also:Anticipated that he and Girardi would go through the final seasons of their contracts in 2017 and ownership will then decide after the season whether to offer new deals.Wants to reach a new deal with pitching coach Larry Rothschild; the other coaches are signed through 2017.Even though Sanchez has supplanted Brian McCann as the starting catcher, he envisions a role for McCann as a backup catcher and designated hitter. But that doesnt preclude me from listening (for a potential trade), either.Views Luis Severino as starting pitcher but is concerned about a sophomore slump that resulted in a 3-8 record and 5.83 ERA. If youre a student you go back and do your homework to brush up for your test, so you can master the next test. He was unable to do that from the starting spot all year long. Raiders Jerseys Sale .

ROME -- Since the end of September, no one had been better in Serie A than Atalanta.Relying on a long list of promising young players, many of them developed in the clubs youth academy, Atalanta had put together six consecutive wins and a nine-match unbeaten streak.The Bergamo clubs streak ended Saturday with a 3-1 loss at Juventus, the five-time defending Italian champion.Alex Sandro, Daniele Rugani and Mario Mandzukic scored for the hosts while all Atalanta could produce was a late goal from Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler.They should be a reference point for us. We can learn a lot from them, Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said. There was clearly a gap on the pitch tonight. We werent able to impose ourselves.The victory stretched Juves lead to seven points ahead of Roma and AC Milan, which each play Sunday.Roma faces Lazio in the Rome derby and Milan hosts struggling Crotone.The win also revived Juventus belief that it can secure a record sixth straight title following a surprising loss at Genoa last weekend.For all practical purposes I had stopped being a coach for the last month with the Champions League and matches every three days, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. We were able to train this week and we discussed things and exchanged ideas.All three of Juves losses this season had come after midweek Champions League losses.While the Turin club has already advanced to the knockout phase, Juventus will still be looking to win its group when it hosts Dynamo Zagreb on Wednesday.Up next for Juventus in Serie A is the derby against Torino, followed by a possible 1-2 showdown with Roma.Atalanta is sixth, eight points behind Juventus and level on pointts with fourth-placed Lazio and fifth-placed Napoli.ddddddddddddAt the Juventus Stadium, the hosts dominated from the start.Sandro dribbled by a defender before bending in an accurate shot after a quarter hour to conclude an impressive solo action. The Brazilian then ran over to the touchline and grabbed a T-shirt with a dedication to Chapecoense, the Brazilian club that lost most of its teams players and staff in a plane crash in Colombia on Monday.Rugani doubled the lead with a header from a corner four minutes later and Mandzukic added another midway through the second half, also meeting a corner from Miralem Pjanic with a header.Mandzukic, who has scored three goals and helped create another in his last four Serie A appearances, later exited with an apparent bruise.Freulers goal came eight minutes from the end, on a volley from the center of the area.Franck Kessie, Atalantas prized 19-year-old Ivory Coast midfielder who has been linked with a possible move to Juventus, hardly made an impact.Still, there were some glimpses of promise from Atalanta, like when 22-year-old defender Mattia Caldara raced back to deflect a shot from Gonzalo Higuain over the bar. However, Rugani scored on the ensuing corner.Also, homegrown goalkeeper Marco Sportiello leaped to push away a dangerous free kick from Pjanic shortly before the half-hour mark.And Caldara negated Higuain again in the final minutes.In the end, though, it was too little against a club designed to compete with the best in Europe.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
