Eric Chavez: The Yankees are still interested in Eric Chavez, but there has been nothing new coming out of Yankeeland. I like Chavez, and I'd love for him to come back to New York. He's a great backup for ARod at third base and still has a bat. Read HERE. That tweet about Chavez comes from ESPN's Andrew Marchand. Marchand also says that the Yankees are still looking at Bill Hall and it wouldn't be out of the question if the Yankees sign both.
Edwin Jackson: Congrats to Edwin Jackson, he signed a 1 year deal with the Washington Nationals, read HERE. There is no doubt he'll be able to contribute nicely for the Nationals, but don't be surprised if another team that competing for a playoff run tries to sign him down the stretch in 2o12, similarly to the way the Cardinals did it last season. I wrote WHY EDWIN JACKSON'S THE LAST MAN STANDING because I couldn't believe how much Scott Boras overshot. I'm glad at least that EJax was able to latch onto someone...Boras almost blew it for him.
Curtis Granderson: The Wall Street Journal has a piece about how the Boston Red Sox almost traded for Curtis. Instead, the Yankees did it. Read about it HERE. The piece reads:"...the Red Sox were in talks with the Detroit Tigers to land the center fielder, a what-if deal that might have dramatically reshaped the way the AL East stands today.
Before the Yankees pulled the trigger, Detroit asked Boston for two of its star young players, Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury, for Granderson."
Luckily for us, things worked out in our favor, otherwise we would have all hated "The Gentleman"... if you can believe that.
