Now... will it happen? We will have to see, but the New York Post has this...

"With Yu Darvish starting for the Rangers against the Rays on Friday night, the speculation at Tropicana Field was that with Yankees scout Brandon Duckworth on hand, the Bombers were interested in Darvish....

Darvish, 31 next month, makes sense because he will be a free agent after the season and is owed a little over $4 million for the remainder of this one.

With the Rangers concerned they won’t be able to re-sign Darvish, they are looking for prospects and pitchers they can control financially...."

And so, here we are in Rumor-land.  Will the Yankees go after a guy like this? It actually makes a ton of sense. The only thing crazier is whether the Yankees will actually try to get Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins.

If I had to put my eggs in a basket, I see Darvish in pinstripes way before this crazy rumor about Stanton from the always nutty, Jon Heyman.

For the record, I trust George King of the NY Post way before I trust Heyman on anything. Just wanted that on the record.

Stay tuned...
