Mark Feinsand reports that the Yankees are interested in reliever Scott Linebrink. He's a type A free agent and would cost the Yankees a draft pick.

Ed Price reports that, according to a source, the Yankees have contacted the White Sox about a potential deal to get closer Bobby Jenks to setup for Mo.

According to a Yankees official, who asked not to be identified because he is not directly involved in the decision, the Yankees have inquired about Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks to set up Rivera.

Jenks had a strong season (2.77 ERA, 40 saves in 46 chances and a record-tying streak of 41 consecutive batters retired), but a deal is considered a long shot. The Yankees' best hope is that the White Sox fail to sign free-agent centerfielder Torii Hunter and thus ask the Yankees for Melky Cabrera or Johnny Damon in a trade.

A boy can dream, right?
