THE YANKEES EYED FORSYTHE... BUT LOST

It's probably too late at this point. Why you ask? Read out update right at the top.

UPDATE: Logan Forysthe is hours away from being acquired by the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade it appears.  Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish says: "The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired Logan Forsythe from the San Diego Padres in a multi-player trade, according to a league source. Alex Torres is likely headed to San Diego in the deal, and each team seems set to receive additional prospects.
The trade is likely to be announced on Friday, according to league sources with knowledge of the situation."  

While sources are known to be wrong, Cotillo happens to have good information.  Most likely, he's nailed this.... 

He also ruined my John Forsythe joke... Damn you Cotillo!

I had written a fun piece about the Yankees wanting to acquire John Forstyhe from Dynasty...  But actually, John Forsythe passed away in 2010. Rest in Peace old pal.

 Logan Forsythe of the San Diego Padres was someone that the Yankees were looking at.  And when I say looking, I mean the Padres are fielding called about him and the Yankees have "checked in.  That comes from Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish:

Hearing "a number of teams' have called the #Padres about trading for Logan Forsythe.

So what did this all mean? Well, it means that Forsythe is young and a utility man and another infielder we can add to the mix as we figure out who will play 3rd base. But who do we need to trade and will do the Padres like any of our guys?

Plus, what the hell ever happened to Chase Headley? Wouldn't he make more sense? Jon Morosi of Fox Sports hints about that:

Sources: Yankees have made trade inquiry to Padres about infield depth; Logan Forsythe is the most realistic target, not Chase Headley.

I mean, ultimately, the Yankees could have had Mark Reynolds, but they passed. Now Forsythe is gone... will the Yankees now pursue Chase Headley?

Who knows... it seems that everytime the Yankee want to look at someone, they're too late...

Maybe John Forsythe wasn't a bad idea...

at least we know no one's pursuing him.
