Joel Sherman of the Post writes that the Yankees ordered Robinson Cano to stop playing for his Dominican winter team because he had exceeded the agreed upon six games he was approved to play in order to "'test some things physically.'" Within the same story, it is reported that Yankees have made neither a multi-year nor a one-year offer to Cano, who is eligible for arbitration for the first time this year.
It has been widely reported (including here and here) that the Yankees permitted Cano to play in a half dozen games to test his calf that he injured during the regular season. Lisa Kennelly of the Star-Ledger notes that Major League teams can prevent players with more than 500 at-bats from playing ball in the off-season. Within the same story, Brian Cashman is quoted as saying that Cano will not be disciplined.
