The New York Post's George A. King III reports that if the Yankees can't get Mark Teixeira, they're "right there on" Manny Ramirez.

"If they pass on Teixeira, the Yankees will try and bolster a sagging lineup with Ramirez... And to clear some money, they might entertain offers for outfielder Xavier Nady, who made $3.35 million last year, is arbitration eligible and a free agent after the 2009 season."

The article mentions a 3 year deal despite Scott Boras seeking five.

King suggests Jermaine Dye is another option; however, Dye has the Yankees listed as one of six teams he would veto a trade to.


I would like to see the Yanks sign Manny and give Xavier Nady to the Reds and some cash as a signal of good will.
