New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said the organization’s goal to bring 2014 payroll below $189 million won’t get in the way of fielding a World Series-quality team.

“It’s a goal, not a mandate,” Cashman said today at a Yankee Stadium news conference. “Every option, every opportunity that comes my way via trade or free agency, I will always present to my owner and team president for evaluation.”
