Carig: Could Rockies closer Huston Street be fitted for a new set of pinstripes?

The 161st Street to Bridge Song?

The Yankees may want to keep an eye turned toward the Rockies, because if Colorado stumbles, right-handed reliever Huston Street may become available again. If that’s so, don’t be surprised to see the Yankees come knocking.

Apparently, they already have this season. A major league source, who requested anonymity because he isn’t authorized to comment on other teams, told me that the Yankees’ reported interest in Street was serious.

The source said that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman approached the Rockies about a deal as early as the middle of May, as the Yankees’ bullpen struggled. Meanwhile, the source said the Rockies had already begun combing through the Yankees’ minor league system, mining for possible trade targets.

Then, before a deal could get rolling, manager Clint Hurdle was fired.

Lazy reporter with a tight deadline. News at 10.

Why not just claim the Mariners are looking to trade King Felix for Ian Kennedy?

The Rockies are only a game out and badly need their own bullpen help. I assume there won't be enough bullpen help to go around.

What puck said. When you're close to playoff position in late June, you don't cast aside a 25-year-old closer with a 148 ERA+ for the season and for his career.

Dayn, you do when the Yankees come calling.
You don't #### with the Yankees, ever.

That's true. Eminent domain or something.

Hank will make O'Dowd an offer he can't refuse.

Tell that to the Red Sox. I think they made the Yankees cried this year with their meanness.

The Yanks bullpen been pretty damn good lately.

Who do you think has the better trade value right now, Matt Holliday or Huston Street?
   13. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: June 28, 2009 at 01:38 PM (#3235705)
Holliday. He had one bad month, and has been hitting like himself ever since.

Holliday. He had one bad month, and has been hitting like himself ever since.
you mean he's been hitting like his outside of Coors self ever since. His May / June OPS is .872 and .854 . that's good and all, but that's not MVP Matt Holliday.
