09/04: Yankees Looked at Penny, Yes... But, Cameron Again, Too
Posted by: Patrick
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports that not only did the Yankees look at Brad Penny, but they had also been considering Mike Cameron (once again) before the August 31 deadline.
The Yankees shied away from Cameron, according to sources, because they didn't feel it was worth picking up the $1.5 million they would have had to pay him for whatever upgrade they would have received over Melky Cabrera.
Back to Penny, the Yankees were serious enough to have Joe Girardi, Johnny Damon and former teammate A.J. Burnett make recruiting calls. In the end, he decided to head to San Francisco, though.
