Yankees trade rumors – Lance Berkman, Ted Lilly, and Scott Downs

It doesn’t seem like the Yankees will go quietly through the trade deadline. Here are some trade rumors swirling around:

Jim Bowden (@JimBowdenXMFOX) of Fox Sports Radio tweeted, “Yankees making hard run at Ted Lilly of the Cubs and Scott Downs of the Blue Jays…and have had conversation with HOU on Berkman.”

Richard Justice (@richardjustice) of the Houston Chronicle tweeted, “Seems to be decent chance Lance Berkman gets traded this afternoon. Yanks seem be leader, but Rays, others interested.”

Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) of the NY Post goes further and tweets, “Yankees are definitely in for Lance Berkman, considering him seriously.”

Numerous media outlets suggest the Yankees are out of the running for Adam Dunn.

If I had to guess, I’d say the Yankees will be making a move before Saturday’s trade deadline.
