Yankees Looking to Move Nady or Swisher
The Yankees are looking at possible options to trade Xavier Nady or Nick Swisher. Xavier Nady who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates during the middle of last season, was penciled in to be the replacement for Bobby Abreu in Right Field. Nick Swisher who was acquired in November from the Chicago White Sox was supposed to be the replacement for Jason Giambi at First Base. Then New York signed Mark Tiexeira to play first. The Washington Nationals, Cincinatti Reds, and maybe even the San Francisco Giants have interest in 1 or both of these players. If they move both of these players it would open up the chance that Manny Ramirez may be wearing pinstripes in Spring Training.
