"We'll have to wait and see how the rest of the roster shakes out," Cashman said. "He doesn't have the utility aspect of outfield (and) infield. So it's really first base (and) DH."

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman didn't rule out dealing players such as Miller and left fielder Brett Gardner while speaking at this week's winter meetings in Nashville, Tennessee.
General manager Brian Cashman was willing to weaken his bullpen because of a lack of depth in starting pitching at Triple-A and Double-A.
