George A. King III of the NY Post reported in today's paper that the Yankees will be in contention of signing Mark Teixiera, if not Manny Ramirez.
While I would like to believe this is true, I think the Yankees will only be in the Mark Teixiera talks to drive up his price for the Angels and Red Sox. I think the Yankees simply can't afford to give a multi-year contract to a 1B right now. Manny on the other hand, is an interesting scenario. King says the Yankees would have to trade Nady, and if that can net back a backup catcher or prospect, why not sign Manny? He'd be the best pure hitter in the game right now (sorry Pujols) protecting the most complete player in the game, Alex Rodriguez.
