The New York Yankees are engaged with "five or six free agents," according to team president Randy Levine.
They will not wait for Robinson Cano, who is seeking a 10-year, $300 million deal, to make a decision before entering into serious talks with any of their other targets.
"We're not waiting around," Levine said. "If guys start to come off the board, we're going to sign them, which will affect the amount of money we have left for other players including him."
