The Daily Yankeeland

It was a tough weekend. Had a dream the Yankees traded Mariano Rivera. I said that's it, I'm no longer rooting for them. Shut down My Pinstripes and that was that. And then I woke up. Phew.

Mark Prior's agent John Boggs admitted that both the Yankees and Mets have shown "preliminary interest" in his client. 11 teams have shown some interested to date for the right-hander, who will probably be ready to go in May. Prior had surgery on his right rotator cuff and labrum.

"He's playing catch right now and Dr. Andrews and his physical therapist feel like he's progressing nicely," Boggs said. "Mark is a guy who has no problem working hard. Barring anything unforeseen, he's going to be just fine. If we don't rush him, he could be very successful."
