Quote: Yankees have No Interest in Prior

by Matthew Cerrone on December 20th, 2007 at 9:34 am

According to Newsday, Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner recently told reporters that his team is no longer interested in free-agent RHP Mark Prior.

In a report yesterday from FoxSports.com, Ken Rosenthal wrote that the Astros and Rangers have been the most ‘aggressive’ in trying to sign Prior, whose goal is to sign a one-year deal, ‘then re-enter the free-agent market in a stronger position next off-season.’

According to Rosenthal, Prior is not expected to pitch in the majors before mid-May.

Nevertheless, the Mets, Cardinals and Padres, including several others, are interested in Prior, writes Rosenthal.
