Yankees interested in Kelvim Escobar

This latest rumor from Joel Sherman has both New York teams inquiring about free agent Kelvim Escobar. He's another high risk, high reward pitcher that's out there this year. He came back from labrum surgery last year but only threw five innings. If he's healthy though I'd love to see him in pinstripes and this has the makings a typical Cashman ninja move. Or it could be just another BS rumor of course.
