River Ave. Blues ยป Yanks passed on final opportunity to get involved in Wilson bidding

Yanks passed on final opportunity to get involved in Wilson bidding

Scouting the Trade Market: Floyd vs. Danks
Report: Yankees have been talking to Manny Corpas' agent

Via Bob Klapisch, the Yankees were apparently given a final opportunity to get involved in the C.J. Wilson bidding last night, but chose to pass on the offer. Wilson agreed to sign with the Angels for five years and nearly $80M this morning.

The Yankees didn’t appear to be all that interested in the southpaw this winter despite their pitching questions, and in fact we’ve heard that they view him as more of a number three or four type starter than the frontline guy he was marketed as and will be paid to be. With Wilson and Mark Buehrle now off the market, Edwin Jackson is best true free agent starter left standing. Yu Darvish is going to be posted soon though, and the Yankees reportedly have “cautious interest.”
