Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make, or however that cliche goes. It certainly holds true for the Yankees if Jon Heyman is to be believed. In his Inside Baseball article from today, Heyman states that the Yankees had interest in shortstop Jose Reyes when he got to Colorado in the Troy Tulowitzki trade last year. The team was willing to send shortstop prospect Jorge Mateo and half of Reyes' $22 million salary in the deal.
Somehow, someway, that deal didn't happen. It's unclear who exactly decided to nix it, as it seems like a pretty outstanding deal for the Rockies.
