It's being reported by Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports that the Yankees are in fact in and interested in Cody Ross who is cheap, much cheaper than a Nick Swisher and perfect to man right field in Yankee stadium. You can read Morosi's Tweet HERE.
Look, we all know Ross can play and he's a gamer but this is no superstar. This is a hole filler, although I can see him shining in the Bronx. In Boston last year, he batted .267 with 22 home runs. Ironically, Swisher hit .272 with 24 home runs. Very similar. The bad news, Ross struck out 129 times...something I hate. (Swisher K'd 141 times in 2012.) Why don't we just sign Mark Reynolds too and those 2 and Curtis Granderson can hang out in the batting cage looking at the holes in their bats. I kid.
If anything happens, we'll tell you. Keep checking here at BYB.
