According to a report in
The New York Daily News,
the Yankees have "no plans to pursue" free-agent Jon Lester—or
Pablo Sandoval or
Max Scherzer or
James Shields. Instead,
The Bronx Embalmers are looking to bring back
Brandon McCarthy and
Chase Headley. The focus on Headley would suggest that
The Fraudulent One is being penciled in as the team's DH. In any event, the elimination of
The Pinstriped Posers as pursuers of Lester makes it a
little easier for the Red Sox to try to lure him back to Fenway.
