The MLB Winter Meeting have almost wrapped up, and there's plenty of rumblings surrounding the New York Yankees to sift through. Here are the most notable of the bunch.

New York will get right-handed pitching prospects Luis Cessa and Chad Green in return for Wilson, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Cessa came from the Mets to the Tigers in this past July's Yoenis Cespedes deal.
There are rumblings that the Yankees could offload Cessa, Green or both in a corresponding deal, but there's been no validation of those rumors as of this time.
Wilson, 28, posted a 3.10 ERA in 61 innings pitched (74 appearances) in 2015, striking out over a batter per inning (66). He is just the latest addition to the Tigers bullpen by new GM Al Avila, who has also secure Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez and Mark Lowe.
We'll have more on this story as additional information is made available.
Yankees Talking Andrew Miller With Astros, Dodgers
The New York Yankees have discussed trade scenarios centered on lefty closer Andrew Miller with both the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
The Astros and Dodgers were hot in pursuit of Miller prior to the 2015 season, but he decided to stay with the Yankees on a four-year, $36 million deal. The three years of team control left on his contract and his 2.04 ERA/.86 WHIP in 2015 makes him the perfect candidate for a trade bidding war.
Miller's 36 saves in 2015 were tied for third in the American League. He will be entering his age-31 season in 2016.
Starting Pitcher For Miller, Gardner?
Speaking of Andrew Miller, the Yankees are reportedly all-or-nothing when it comes to trading both him and/or outfielder Brett Gardner. New York wants a starting pitcher out of a potential deal, or they'll pack up and keep both for the 2016 season.
Per GM Brian Cashman, the most likely scenario is that both will remain with the team heading into Spring Training.
