The latest rumor about the Yankees' search for starting pitching involves a couple of Braves pitchers:
In speaking to my Tampa sources, Brian Cashman continues to "burn up the phone lines" looking for pitching help. Yes, he did offer Kevin Millwood a minor league deal, but he was thinking bigger as he reached out to Atlanta and inquired about Tim Hudson.
The Braves don't have interest in dealing Hudson who went 17-9 with a 2.83 ERA last season. As I mentioned before, they are willing to deal Derek Lowe, who is owed $30 million over the next two seasons. He will cost the Yankees a prospect haul that appears to be too expensive at this time.
The Braves also have Kenshin Kawakami ... Hello ... He's available.
