Jeff Blair of The Globe And Mail passes along a note that the Yankees are looking at Blue Jays closer Scott Downs. In today's massive Roy Halladay thread we learned that the Yanks had scouts in Toronto tonight, and we've known that they're on the look out for arms.
Downs has been tremendous again this year, pitching to a 2.08 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP in 30.1 IP. A case could be made that he's been the most underappreciated reliever in the American League over the last few seasons.
