The Yankees have "absolutely no intention" of trading Brett Gardner to clear room in center field for Jacoby Elsbury or to fill a need elsewhere, according to team president Randy Levine.
Appearing Sunday morning on ESPN Radio's "The Ian O'Connor Show," Levine declined to comment on reports the Yankees rejected a Gardner-for-Brandon Phillips trade offer from the Reds but did say he fully expected Gardner to be in the Opening Day lineup.
"We think he's going to be on the roster," Levine said.
