Day two of the Winter Meetings have begun and the hot stove is scalding with Yankees rumors. Expect it to get even more exciting as the day continues.
Headley Could Sign Today
According to Peter Gammons, free agent third baseman Chase Headley might sign with a team today. His suitors include the Yankees and the Giants. The only holdup could be San Francisco’s negotiations with Jon Lester.
Yankees Could Look To Other Relievers Several reports indicate that the Yankees could look to cheaper late-inning relief options to add depth to an already strong bullpen. Options include Jason Grilli, Sergio Romo, Pat Neshek, and Luke Gregerson among others
