From the Star-Ledger:
The Yankees may want to keep an eye turned toward the Rockies, because if Colorado stumbles, right-handed reliever Huston Street may become available again. If that's so, don't be surprised to see the Yankees come knocking.
Apparently, they already have this season. A major league source, who requested anonymity because he isn't authorized to comment on other teams, told me that the Yankees' reported interest in Street was serious.
The source said that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman approached the Rockies about a deal as early as the middle of May, as the Yankees' bullpen struggled. Meanwhile, the source said the Rockies had already begun combing through the Yankees' minor league system, mining for possible trade targets.
The Yanks have enough in their bullpen to not have to go and get a quick fix like Huston Street. I would put a lid on this deal unless Brian Bruney doesn't perform again. His last time out wasn't reminiscent of Bruney from the beginning of the year.
They really don't need much bullpen help. Although, Street would be a nice replacement for Brett Tomko.
