The Yankees are keeping tabs on Pirates outfielders Xavier Nady and Jason Bay and new A’s Matt Murton because they believe their biggest need is a right-handed bat.

And they haven’t dismissed signing Richie Sexson who was released by the Mariners yesterday.

Murton went from the Cubs to the A’s in the Rich Harden deal.

I’ve already discussed Sexson and suggested Nady. But, Matt Murton? Isn’t he a daredevil?

Oh, wait, that’s Matt Murdock. Never mind…

Seriously, before this season Murton has beat up on left-handed pitching. So, maybe he can help the Yankees? The trick is…what will Billy Beane want in return?
