January 18, 2007 -- The Yankees haven't made a final decision regarding Bernie Williams, a source told The Post yesterday afternoon. But that doesn't mean Williams will be back since there is little room for him on the 2007 roster as it currently stands.

Williams' agent, Scott Boras, did not return phone calls yesterday, and GM Brian Cashman is on vacation this week. However, the source believed Cashman was still having dialogue with Boras and the Yankee GM may have even spoken with the 38-year-old Williams directly at some point this winter.

Last Wednesday, Boras told Foxsports.com that his client hadn't yet decided about the possibility of playing for another team. "When we get definition from the Yankees, Bernie will evaluate that and advise me," Boras reportedly said.

In September, Williams told SI.com he might retire to pursue a music career.

Very sad...he's one of the all-time great Yankees but there doesn't seem to be any room for him. I hope they can find some way to get him back, even if it's purely for sentimental reasons. Hell, maybe he can learn to be a reliever.
