"Andruw Jones is officially back with the Yankees, finalizing a one-year, $2 million deal yesterday and Hiroki Kuroda is expected to be next.

But as Brian Cashman said repeatedly this week, he's hardly finished with his off-season.

The Yankees GM said he is continuing to look for a left-handed bat and has indicated he'd rather acquire one through a trade for a pitcher instead of free agency, where Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon — among others — remain available.

With the addition of Michael Pineda and the impending signing of Kuroda, the Yankees admittedly have an excess of starting pitching."
