Remember, the Yankees were in on Yoan Moncada, until the Red Sox signed him.  Olivera is older and more injury prone.  Here's the question... are the Yankees in on Olivera anymore?

Here's a reason to not be too interested.  Jeff Passan reports this:

"Serious concern exists that Cuban infielder Hector Olivera has a damaged ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm, potentially hindering the market for a free agent who many expected to contribute in the major leagues this season, sources told Yahoo Sports."

What do you make of that? Right, you're concerned too. Yet we passed on Yoan Moncada... a 19 year old Cuban stud with a ton of upside. Whatever, man.
