New York Yankees showing interest in Wes Helms

By Allan

Joe Frisaro of MLB.com says that Florida Marlins’ Wes Helms has caught the attention of the New York Yankees. Helms would bring a versatile third baseman, first baseman, designated hitter and pinch hitter to the Yankee’s roster. Additionally he has playoff experience with the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies.

A number of scouts, including the Yankees’, are on hand in Miami to watch the Marlins take on the Nationals.

The 12-year veteran is hitting .243/.298/.391 in 63 games for the Marlins this season. He is a free agent after the season, and Frisaro says he could come back to the Marlins organization. The club is high on Helms and he is comfortable being a veteran on a young team.
