12/08: Olney: Involved Team Pushing for Yankees to Receive Both Curtis Granderson and Edwin Jackson
Posted by: Patrick
ESPN's Nick Pietruszkiewicz passes on a report from Buster Olney indicating that during the discussions about a three way trade between the Diamondbacks, Tigers and Yankees, the idea of both center fielder Curtis Granderson and pitcher Edwin Jackson ending up in New York was suggested. Olney notes that this doesn't mean that there was actually any traction behind the idea and when talks ended on Monday, two of the teams involved were not pleased with what was currently being offered.
Even so, Olney says that one of the three teams engaged in the discussions "continues to push the recast deal" that would allow the Yankees to obtain both Granderson and Jackson.
