Since signing Aroldis Chapman and Matt Holliday this offseason, the Yankees have fallen silent on the free agent market. The team’s front office has stated that those contracts have put them just up to their allotted budget and there is no money left to sign anyone else. Despite this reality, some rumors have been heard here and there about the Yankees taking interest in someone, even if it hasn’t been that serious. Now we are hearing that they have some level of interest in Chris Carter.
ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick is reporting that the Yankees are keeping tabs on Chris Carter, which likely means they are checking in on his contract demands at this point.
