New York Post | Joel Sherman ($): The Yankees seem like they’re hunting for one more addition, preferably a right-handed hitter who can play multiple positions. We don’t know much about the status of utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera as he returns from his grisly ankle injury, and the team may prefer a player with a little more of a track record anyway.

Lastly, new acquisition Angel Chivilli will get a chance to prove himself closer to sea level in the Yankee bullpen.
