Yankees Trade Rumor: Nationals Want Brett Gardner

Found December 07, 2011 on Bronx Baseball Daily: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brett Gardner,  Stephen Strasburg,  Jordan Zimmermann
TEAMS: New York Yankees,  Washington Nationals

2009_world_series_0589
It wasn’t the first time they have expressed interest in the Yankees outfielder, but the Nationals once again asked about outfielder Brett Gardner, whom they view as a perfect leadoff/center field candidate. However, according to MASN, the Yankees have once again turned them down. The Yankees like Gardner and while they would presumably listen to offers for him it isn’t likely that they are going to deal him. Maybe if the Nationals were willing to discuss Stephen Strasburg or Jordan Zimmermann the two sides could put something together, but that isn’t happening. Other than those two guys, the Nationals just don’t have the pitchers the Yankees are interested in.

Rumor: Yankees Willing to Eat Cash to Deal Burnett

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  December 07, 2011
They may be looking to add starting pitchers this offseason, but the Yankees are trying to subtract at least one – A.J. Burnett – and are even willing to eat up to $8 million to make him more attractive, according to George King of the NY Post. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear that teams are interested in Burnett even as the Yankees take a bite out of the $33 million...

Yankees Contacted the Mets About Niese

Via Sliding Into Home  |  December 08, 2011
Upon first hearing about Niese's availability, I was cautiously optimistic that the Yankees would, at the very least, inquire about the young lefty. While Niese may not offer the upside of Gio Gonzalez or the experience of John Danks, I believe that he is not too far removed from either, and is quite likely to come at the most reasonable cost.For those of you unfamiliar with...

Rumor: Yankees clear front runner to land Cespedes

There is some thinking that with the new collective bargaining agreement that will limit spending on international free agents...

Rumor: Yankees win rights to negotiate with Hiroyuki Nakajima

Via Yankees Daily  |  December 07, 2011
First, hello friends. Second, the New York Yankees have won the right to negotiate with Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima. The 29-year-old hit .313/.389/.491 in four years in Japan and was posted this offseason. He would most likely add some middle infield utility depth behind Eduardo Nunez. He wasn’t the biggest name on the international market. I wouldn’t want...

Has anyone seen this photo of Brian Cashman repelling down the side of the building? If you’re a Yankees fan you’re used to seeing nerdy Cashman with a microphone in his face.
