Obviously, the Yankees need relief pitching badly, and it wouldn't kill to even get a starter.

Chicago Sun-Times: "According to a source, reliever Shingo Takatsu could be traded to a West Coast team as early as today, with the Sox getting a high-level prospect in return. Most of the previous rumors surrounding the Sox had to do with them acquiring a starter such as the San Francisco Giants' Jason Schmidt or the Florida Marlins' A.J. Burnett."
Denver Post: "Less than 24 hours after making two trades, the Rockies moved closer Thursday to dealing Chacon to the Yankees. While the Texas Rangers and longshot San Diego Padres have shown interest, no one is pursuing Chacon as aggressively as the Yankees."
Miami Herald (registration required): "Discussions between the Marlins and Orioles are intensifying over a proposed trade that could send pitcher A.J. Burnett and, perhaps, third baseman Mike Lowell to Baltimore. But the Marlins are continuing to talk to more than six teams about Burnett, who is being eyed strongly by the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox."
