"We've talked to him for quite some time and he's agreed to work out for our people across the street, so that's what he'll do," GM Brian Cashman said. "We saw enough from him in the WBC to bring him in for a further look."
"I think he was as high as 93 (mph) in the WBC, so we wanted to take a look, and he was agreeable," Cashman said. "We have some vacancies in the rotation in (Triple-A) Scranton, so we're exploring all our options, and he showed interest in coming back. he had a great time with us and if he has to do a minor-league deal, he'd probably rather do it here."
