Hiroki Kuroda is not on New York Yankees radar
By
New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman does not expect to go outside the organization to find help for his depleted pitching staff.
“What we got is what we’re going with,” Cashman said. “I anticipate we are going to use the alternatives we have here.”
ESPNNewYork.com’s Wallace Matthews said that Cashman has denied any plans to acquire Los Angeles’ Dodgers right-handed pitcher Hiroki Kuroda. FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal reported last night that Kuroda was placed on waivers by the Dodgers.
“I haven’t thought about him. I don’t even know if he’s on waivers yet,” Cashman said. “Besides, I’d be hard-pressed to find a pitcher on the waiver wire who can pitch better for us than Dustin Moseley has.”
“I’m not even thinking along those terms because right now I’m not interested in adding anyone,” Cashman said. “I like the team we have and I think we have what it takes to get the job done.”
Kuroda, 25, had a 8-11 record with a 3.48 ERA with the Dodgers this season.
