A source told MLB.com on Tuesday that previous reports indicating the Yankees and White Sox have discussed a trade for left-hander Jose Quintana and closer David Robertson are inaccurate.
USA Today reported Tuesday morning that New York was interested in acquiring both Quintana and Robertson from the White Sox, who would eat a portion of the $25 million remaining on Robertson's deal. The New York Post later reported that the Yankees have not discussed acquiring both players. The Yankees have not commented on the reports.
The Yankees have been one of a handful of teams linked to the 27-year-old Quintana, who's under club control through 2020, while Robertson also has been on the trade market.
