Just a flurry of activity in the last few minutes about the Lance-to-NYY possibility.
Alyson Footer:
Puma is here. Feels there is a decent possibility he'll be traded. But he has not been traded.
Joel Sherman:
Hearing Berkman deal from Astros to Yankees is on verge of completion.
Buster Olney:
The Steinbrenners have given pre-approval to the acquisition of a large salary such as Lance Berkman or Adam Dunn.
Alyson Footer:
Berkman said no matter what happens, he wants the opp. to come back to Astros next year. So a requirement if he was traded would be for the new team to NOT pick up his option. He's the anti-Oswalt.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
