Quote: Yankees have No Interest in Prior
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.
