MLB.com | Richard Justice: The Yankees need power in their lineup. Edwin Encarnacion provides plenty of pop with his bat. With the departures of Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, and Carlos Beltran, he could slide right into the middle of the order. Right now the Yankees are just doing their due diligence, but that could always change in a hurry.
MLB.com | Joe Trezza: Yoenis Cespedes is arguably the most dynamic free agent on the market. With such a weak class, he’s going to draw interest from a lot of teams, including the Yankees. They remain on the periphery of his market, but after missing the postseason for the third time in four years, a return to big spending isn’t out of the question.
