NYDailyNews: Yankees’ interest quickly cools on Texas Rangers’ C.J. Wilson
There had been plenty of talk about the Yankees’ interest in [C.J. Wilson], but most of that centered on the Bombers’ nightmare scenario that had Sabathia trading in his pinstripes for a new uniform.
Now that Sabathia is signed up for five more years, Wilson doesn’t seem to be of much interest to the Yankees.
“They don’t think he’s worth the money he’ll get,” one baseball insider said last week. “He just doesn’t have the track record.”
And the games begin.
More than likely, the Yankees are interested in Wilson. But with CC locked up, the pressure to land a top starter isn’t as great. I actually expect C.J. to stay in Texas, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Yankee swoop in with a better offer.
Also, Yankees talk extension with Russell Martin.
