Vladimir Guerrero

Ken Davidoff of New York Newsday reports that the representatives for Vladimir Guerrero and Raul Ibanez have contacted the Yankees about their vacancy at designated hitter.

Davidoff’s report also named Jack Cust, but one would assume he’s no longer an option after reportedly agreeing to a contract with the Astros. Quite frankly, it’s not surprising to hear that the reps for Vlad and Ibanez have contacted the Bombers, as they wouldn’t be doing their jobs if they didn’t. Recent reports have also named Carlos Pena, Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon as possibilities. With so many veteran hitters still looking for work, chances are the Yankees will end up with someone at a bargain rate.
