Yanks Have Reached Out To Bay

From John Tomase and Michael Silverman:

The source said Bay expects to make a final decision in the next couple of days, with the Mets, Angels and Mariners the front-runners for his services. However, lurking in the weeds are Yankees, who have reached out to Bay’s representatives to express their interest, the source said.

The Yankees are not believed to have made an offer, and it was unclear last night exactly how strong their interest is, but it goes without saying that in matters of free agency, they never can be discounted.

Bay wouldn't be the worst signing, but at this point I'd rather see the Yanks give Damon a short-term deal instead of the 5 years it will probably take to land Bay or Holliday. Too bad they didn't sign Matsui when they had the chance.
