My colleague, George King, wrote about the Yankees’ potential interest if Mike Cameron is allowed to become a free agent. I do believe that the Yanks have some interest in Cameron, but that he is a backup plan. They want to add an outfielder this offseason, but they really want that outfielder to be a lot younger than Cameron, who will play at 36 next year. They want someone who could be part of the fabric of the team for a while. It would only be if the Yanks fail in that endeavor that I believe they would move to other alternatives such as Cameron.
