Rumor: Luis Ayala choosing between the Angels and Orioles
The Yankees have seven starters to fill five spots and with no room in the rotation for the five near major league ready starters down in Triple-A they will have no shortage of bullpen options. That means the Yankees lone un-signed free agent, Luis Ayala almost definitely will not be coming back next year.
While he is looking for a job, he seems to have narrowed his options down...

Rumor: Yankees maintain interest in Luis Ayala
Luis Ayala was a bit of a surprise for the Yankees last season as they signed him for insurance and he ended up being a big contributor. Since then he has drawn a decent amount of interest as a free agent, but apparently not enough that it is the middle of January and he still hasn’t found a team.
The Yankees have maintained interested in re-signing him though and still do...

Reunion rumors: Mets show interest in K-Rod and Ayala
Wouldn’t it be interesting if the Mets, in an effort to address their bullpen issues, choose to do so by targeting two of their least popular former relievers. Disappointing might be a better word than interesting, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility. On Sunday afternoon it was reported that New York is one of half a dozen teams to express interest...

Rumor: Yankees 1 of 6 Teams in on Luis Ayala
The Yankees are interested in bringing back reliever Luis Ayala, but they are not alone. According to Jim Bowden of ESPN XM radio, the Yankees are among six teams interested in signing the reliever.
Over the past few years, Brian Cashman has done a great job putting together a bullpen and a large part of that has been signing a ton of relievers and hoping that one or two pan out...

Rumors: Luis Ayala Getting Interest from Red Sox, Rays
Yankees GM Brian Cashman has indicated that under the right circumstances that he would like to bring back all of his free agents this offseason (although I somehow doubt that extends to Jorge Posada). Luis Ayala is one of those free agents, but he might need to act fast to keep the righty as the Red Sox and Rays have both “checked in” on him, according to Jon Paul Morosi...

Report: Red Sox Have 'Checked in' on Free-Agent Reliever Luis Ayala

The Red Sox are one of the teams to have checked in on free-agent reliever Luis Ayala, according to Fox Sports' John Paul Morosi.

Second Guessing, Part Two - Luis Ayala
Prior to Game 2, Girardi stated that he was more than willing to utilize any of the Yankees relievers three days in a row. This ostensibly meant that Rivera, Robertson, and Soriano were available for Game 2 and Game 3, with Robertson and Soriano being available for Game 4, as well. Most would suggest that a three-run deficit is far from insurmountable - particularly at home, against...
