Wandy Rodriguez - S - Houston Astros
July 31, 2011 - 12:00 PM ET
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Yankees are talking to the Astros about Wandy Rodriguez.
It would make sense for the Astros to go ahead and deal Rodriguez while they're purging their roster, as the left-hander has the biggest contract on the team and the Yankees never have a problem adding extra salary. With Ivan Nova pitching well in a start Saturday, though, the Yanks could view simply view the youngster as their proverbial "internal trade-deadline acquisition."
