According to the
San Francisco Chronicle, the Yankees had a scout in attendance Sunday at the A's game to watch Joe Blanton. The A's already dealt Dan Haren this off-season and rumors have persisted that they may be willing to move Blanton as well. A's GM Bill Beane will of course be looking for the moon, but its definitely something worth exploring.
"Until any trade happens, I can't worry about it," Blanton said.
The 27-yr old is entering his 4th full season in the majors and has averaged 208 innings per season. He set personal bests last season for innings pitched (230) and ERA (4.20).

Maybe we could interest them in Igawa? Henn? Farnsworth? I hope they have enough sense to take Kennedy, Hughes and Chamberlain off the table.

Maybe Henn, but Beane won't be interested in Igawa or Farnsworth's salaries. He's going to want someone like Horne or Melancon.
