Yankees General Manager, Brian Cashman, is done celebrating 2009 and ready to open the wallet for 2010.  After making a splash last season with big contracts with C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett, he’s ready to go after Los Angeles Angel’s free agent starting pitcher John Lackey.

According to the New York Daily News, the Yankees are interested in making Lackey apart of their rotation, joining Sabathia, Burnett and possibly Andy Pettite.  The fifth spot will be up for grabs between Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes.  However, Cashman may pass on Lackey this year and make a run for Roy Halladay in 2011.
