Report: No breakdown in communication between Boras, Yanks

Scott Boras cleared up statements he made to the New York Post, telling the newspaper that he was joking when he said Yankees GM Brian Cashman wasn't returning his phone calls.

According to the New York Post, Boras took back saying he was looking to get the final two years of Robinson Cano's contract voided in order to restructure a new contract.

The team has a $14-million option on Cano for 2012 that it will exercise and a $15-million option in 2013.

Boras has been Cano's agent since last spring.

In the spring, Cano gave his reasons for switching to Boras.

"They have a great company, a company that can do everything for you, not only on the field but off the field, too, so that's why I went there," he said. "Nothing where I'm thinking about a big contract or anything."

Asked then specifically if he would be asking for a new deal, Cano said no.

"I would never do that," he said. "Those are things that have to be their decision."
