Joel Sherman of the New York Post says that the Arizona Diamondbacks are in need of rotation depth especially with Cy Young winner Brandon Webb not expected to be back until late April at the earliest. With that said, the team is actively searching for a starting pitcher.

The Yankees have been expected to deal pitcher Chad Gaudin or Sergio Mitre with possible destinations that include the Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs.

The Yankees currently have a surplus of starting pitchers with only the fifth spot in the rotation able to accommodate one of them. Currently the team has Gaudin, Mitre, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Alfredo Aceves competing for that spot. Those that do not become a starter will either move to the bullpen, go to the Minors or get traded.
