Here are some more notes from Day Two at the Winter Meetings. Again, all are reports from different web sites and news agencies:
The Yankees are willing to spend a ton of money to upgrade their pitching rotation, so much so that they are going after not one, not two, but three big-name pitchers.
The Yankees reportedly want to sign the top three free-agent pitchers on the market: CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Derek Lowe.
The Associated Press is reporting that Yankees GM Brian Cashman left the meetings in Las Vegas to head to San Francisco to talk with Sabathia.
* Speaking of pitchers, the on again, off again saga of Jake Peavy appears back on again. Multiple teams again appear to be involved in the trade, at least the Padres, Cubs and Phillies. If it is a complicated deal, it may not be completed until after the Winter Meetings.
* Pirates general manager Neal Huntington wouldn't say that any players on his team are untouchable. Apparently other teams feel the same way because the Braves were asking about both Nate McLouth and Paul Maholm.
Relax Pirates fans (the five of you that are left), there is talk the club will try to sign the duo plus Ryan Doumit to long-term contracts.
