A six year contract at $25 million is a bit too much for the Yankees, so they will look for other options then Scherzer to top the rotation. (ESPN NY)

Fantasy Impact:

Although Scherzer may be too expensive, the Yankees may still be in the running for James Shields. The former Cy Young winner would have been a nice addition, but Shields has pitched in the AL East for seven years with the Rays and gained playoff experience with both the Royals and Rays. Although he may not be as flashy as Scherzer, Shields has topped 200 innings for eight seasons and the Yankees need a stable option at the top of the rotation.
