Ken Davidoff:
Kevin Towers, fired last month as the Padres' general manager, told ESPN that he will meet with the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox and Mariners at the winter meetings in Indianapolis and decide which team to join - in an advisory role - shortly after.
The odds favor the Yankees to land Towers, 48, who is widely respected throughout the industry for the job he did in San Diego.
Davidoff points out that Towers is friends with Brian Cashman and this could give the Yankees the edge to land the former Padres GM. Towers is known to be a very good evaluator in talent and any organization could use a guy like that.
