Yankees don't have players doing spots on ESPN 1050 et al.--Neil Best, Newsday

"It long has been a battlefield in the local sports talk radio wars: Sign players for paid spots and hope they attract attention (and perhaps listeners), or at least show up on time. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman nixed the idea. Turns out such gigs are a Yankees no-no. "It's a policy I've had in place for a long time now," he said before Monday's mist-out. "We should speak with one voice, whether it is the manager or general manager. They can speak postgame or pregame or in their normal interview process but not have a regular schedule." (P.S. The sport is turning itself into a flea-bitten clown carnival with barkers around every corner. It is too much and will backfire on the whole industry). sm
