In a Tweet by Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated, he said that the New York Yankees are still considering the addition of right-handed free agent pitcher Kevin Millwood. The Yankees are in a desperate position for starting pitching especially in the wake of the semi-expected retirement of Andy Pettitte. As for yesterday, a source close to George A. King III of the New York Post decribed the Yankees’ interest in Millwood as “strong.”

The Cleveland Indians have been reported as a team making progress towards a deal with Millwood.

The free-agent could help the back-end of any team’s rotation.  He had 31 starts and ate up 190 2/3 innings with Baltimore last season, but was a dismal 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA.
