The Yankees remain the favorites to sign Cuban shortstop Adeinis Hechavarria, according to sources. However, they have company in chasing the 21-year-old who defected from Cuba last year. ?There are five teams that are interested,?? a source said. The Yankees have spent more time than any team scouting him. They have seen him in open workouts in the Dominican Republic and he has been to their complex in the DR several times to work out. The most recent trip was last week. ?He has a body like (Alfonso) Soriano," a talent evaluator said of Hechavarria. ?And he can hit.?? With Derek Jeter set to sign a long-term deal at the end of the season and shortstop the only place he can play, the Yankees could trade Robinson Cano after next season and make room for Hechavarria. Next season is the final leg of Cano?s four-year, $30 million deal. There are options for 2012 ($14 million) and 2013 ($15 million). ?Things are going very well,?? Hechavarria's agent, Bart Hernandez, said. ?We should have news soon. The market has been strong. I can?t put a timetable on it, we are engaged with teams.??
