I've heard a couple of different rumors today surrounding Nick Swisher and the possibility that the Yankees have put his name out there as a possible player available through trade. I can't see why the Yankees would do this, I wouldn't mind Swisher getting a lesser role as maybe a part time DH/RF, but I think he's a good fit and a well liked player in the clubhouse.
Free agents can officially start signing with teams at Midnight. Matt Holliday apparently has the Yankees on the top of his wish list and would love to play in New York. I'm still hearing Roy Halladay's name tied to the Yankees as well as the Red Sox and Phillies. The Yankees are apparently very high on John Lackey. According to Jon Heyman of SI and MLB Network, the Yankees first priority will be to add another pitcher. They got through the postseason using only 3 starters but it appears a priority will be to add another arm and some other guys available outside of Lackey and Halladay could be Derek Lowe if the Braves decide to put him on the trade market as well as free agent projects Ben Sheets and Erik Bedard, two pitchers coming off of surgery.
