Yankees "Aggressively" Trying to Deal Hughes and Joba

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal took to Twitter earlier Wednesday to report that an American League executive  told him the Yankees are "aggressively pushing" to get Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes dealt.

He added that Chamberlain could go to an NL team soon and later added that the Philadelphia Phillies were not that team. Rosenthal also added that the Yankees are not close to making a deal for either player, both of whom are free agents after this season.
