Rafael Soriano

I wrote in my column earlier that I expected the Yankees to sign Rafael Soriano to be their bridge to Mo in 2011 and I was wrong:

The Yanks were unwilling to give up a first-round pick for a relief pitcher, which I completely agree with. Great, young pitching staffs are built through the draft.

But on the positive side, Joakim Soria has expressed interest in being traded to Yanks:
