Source: Yankees in "active negotiations" for a starting pitcher. Not Harang. Trying to find out who.(Updated 10:00 p.m.) This comes via Ken Davidoff:
Hear that #Yankees have "two or three" serious trade talks for starting pitcher - A. Harang isn't one of them.Earlier tonight we got this tweet from Buster Olney:
"Yankees working very hard tonight on deal for starting pitcher. Remember that they came close to deal for Aaron Harang in summer"Stay tuned...
