They are creeping around Johan Santana. That's right, kicking tires or sniffing around the hydrant... Yup. That's what the Yankees are doing. That's if you believe the report put out by Andy McCullough of the Star Ledger who writes:
"The Yankees are one of several teams monitoring the progress of former Mets ace Johan Santana, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The person requested anonymity in order to speak freely about the situation. After missing all of 2013, Santana is still rehabilitating from his second anterior capsule surgery and has yet to pitch off a mound this winter. Santana could audition for scouts near his home in Fort Myers, Fla. before spring training.
A message left for general manager Brian Cashman went unreturned. He likely has more pressing matters to handle."
Those pressing matters are Masahiro Tanaka and making sure he doesn't slip our grasp. The other thing to understand is, and this is my opinion... not too many pitchers are going to move until the Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes is won, meaning negotiating rights. So while the Yanks are "sniffing"... that's all their doing.
Remember... it's the TANAKA TOUR 2014.
