(Looking for the game thread? Click here.)Upon his request, Brad Penny was released by Boston today, and for some reason the Yankees seem interested.Here's more from George A. King III:The Yankees have an interest in veteran right-hander Brad Penny, who was released by the Red Sox late Wednesday night.According to a person with knowledge of the Yankees' plans, the club doesn't know of an agreement between Penny and the Red Sox that he wouldn't sign with an AL team if they released him.Besides that, there was this quote from Johnny Damon:"He's got good stuff. His secondary stuff might need a little tweak but his fastball was electric, it cut and he hit his spots with it. Bring him here, why not? I love the way the guy competes."Uhhhhh, no thanks.
