New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and other high-ranking team officials have gathered in Florida to address offseason plans.

A meeting on Wednesday lasted around 6 1/2 hours at George Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' spring training home.

Items on the Yankees' agenda include whether to pick up right fielder Nick Swisher's $10.25 million option and formulating potential plans for ace CC Sabathia, who can opt out of his 7-year, $161 million contract after the World Series. Cashman's current contract expires at the end of the month, as well.

There were no announcements made after Wednesday's session, which ended around 4:30 p.m. Although originally scheduled to be a two-day affair, the New York-based officials were returning home after completing their work on Wednesday.

Others involved in the meetings included managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, team president Randy Levine, special adviser Gene Michael, senior director of pro personnel Billy Eppler, assistant general manager Jean Afterman and senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman.

Eppler has interviewed for the vacant general manager position with the Los Angeles Angels. He declined to comment about the ongoing process, which could see the Angels hold a second round of interviews.
