In today's look into Yankees trade rumors and news, San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley is once again finding his name connected to the New York Yankees in a potential trade scenario.
According to Lou DiPietro of the YES Network, Headley's name remains out there if the Yankees and Padres are truly willing to get a deal done:
The name Chase Headley has been bandied about so much in trade talks over the last couple years that it may almost feel like a situation of the boy who cried wolf. However, as it stands today, Headley is at least an option, at least if the Padres feel that they're not going to re-sign him and/or would rather have a tangible prospect than the draft pick they'd get if he turned down a qualifying offer and went elsewhere.
Headley has had a rough 2014 campaign at the plate, hitting just .226 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs. However, his glove would stand as a huge improvement and his $5 million price tag means that he would be a relatively cost-effective miss if he couldn't get back on track in the Bronx.
