Via Joel Sherman:
#Yankees would like to get Aceves back, but on minor lge deal so he can rehab injuries/not take up 40-man roster spot
Despite his being non-tendered last week, few believed that we had seen the last of Alfredo Aceves in pinstripes - in fact, many suspected that this was the motivation from the moment the announcement was made. That being said,
a challenger has emerged:
#Rockies among teams interested in recently non-tendered #Yankees RHP Alfredo Aceves.
While Aceves' timetable for return has fluctuated a great deal over the last several months, there's no denying that he has a fair amount of potential value. Aceves performed admirably out of the bullpen in 2009, and he has the stuff and track record to suggest that he could serve as a fifth starter. Here's hoping the Yankees can bring him back on-board.
