Moments after BYB reported that the Yankees were looking at Angels 3rd baseman Alberto Callaspo, the Athletics moved in an traded for him in exchange for Grant Green. Danny Knobler of CBS Sports has that information:

Oh well... maybe the idea of Michael Young in pinstripes is now growing.

Meanwhile, Jake Peavy was just acquired by the Red Sox in a 3 team deal between the Tigers and White Sox.  Jon Heyman of CBS Sports had that Tweet:

red sox and white sox have a peavy deal.

 Jose Iglesias is going to the Tigers. The deal is not "official" but there is no reason the think that it won't be.

The Yankees better get on the stick if they have any shot of trying to beat the Red Sox in the AL East this year.  They have a long way to go from 4th place...just sayin'.

YANKEES INTEREST IN ALBERTO CALLASPO IS GROWING

Alberto Callaspo is a third baseman for the Los Angeles Angels, and according to CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler (HERE), the Yankees like him:

"The Yankees have been in touch with the Angels about third baseman Alberto Callaspo...Other teams have also asked the Angels about Callaspo, whose .671 OPS is more than 100 points higher than what Yankee third basemen have done so far. The Yankees are 30th among the 30 big-league teams in almost every offensive category at third base, where they've already used seven different players (most recently Brent Lillibridge)."

We'll keep you posted on this one.  It's a smart move if you look at that OPS and who the Yanks currently have at 3rd.  We shall see.
