I forgot about Armas, I'd heard about him before. However, he hasn't really been doing much this year. However, I don't really know the Yanks level of interest. Zack Day is a new rumor I hadn't heard yet
He is a free agent at the end of the year and DePodesta has said that if the Dodgers don't click soon, they may be in the sellers mode.
That would be an interesting acquistion.
The Mariners GM was just on MLB.com minutes ago and said emphatically that Ichiro and Moyer are the only M's that are untouchable from a trade standpoint.
The M's were shopping Gil Meche to the Tigers for Brandon Inge but the Tigers weren't interested. And a couple days agter Inge broke his finger.
The chances of RJ going to the Yankees are thinner than thin. Not only does Johnson dislike NY, but Colangelo also can't stand Steinbrenner. (Does the David Wells handshake/screwjob ring a bell?).
i think the yankees are going to have a hard time getting pitching this year. Maybe someone out of Pittsburgh or possibly Zito... although zito will be costly.
