MARLON BYRD TO THE YANKEES IS POSSIBLE

I am not so sure Marlon Byrd is a good choice for the Yankees, but they could use an extra bat, so of course, anyone who knows how to hit these days is always in the mix, especially with the trade deadline being tomorrow.  According to Jayson Stark, the Yankees like him, maybe... but maybe not because of that damn option:

Source says #Mariners are "out" on Marlon Byrd. Still some legs to rumblings linking Byrd & #Yankees but Yankees wary of 2016 vesting option

Look, maybe Byrd is the guy, or maybe like Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record suggested weeks ago, Maybe Josh Willingham is a better option, although, as of late... he's not doing so well.  There's always the argument that a change of scenery for any player could be a good thing. 

I do know this, never say never about Byrd... except I am! I don't think he's coming to New York. Then again, I said the same thing about a guy named Armando Benitez once...

You remember how that worked out...
