-The Yankees are still interested in Washburn, but the Mariners have asked for both Brett Gardner and Melky Cabrera. The Yanks will obviously not do that, and they are at a standstill, with the Yankees paitently waiting for the Mariners to drop their price
-The Yankees are heavily in the market for a lefty reliever, with Arthur Rhodes NOT being one of them. I could only guess that means Fuentes, but Graziano doesn't specify. Marte is a lefty, but hes their only one and he's about to become the set-up man.
