The Yankees moved closer last night to landing Bobby Abreu, according to sources, as the field for the Phillies outfielder was narrowed to just three teams - with the Bombers believed to have the best chance of landing him.
Phillies GM Pat Gillick, according to a source, had been given the go-ahead from Abreu's agent yesterday afternoon to work out a deal with the Yanks, Mets or Red Sox.
"Of course, when you hear the Yankees, one of the best teams in baseball, and you hear the rumors it, makes you feel good," Abreu told The Morning Call of Allentown, Pa. "They have such great players. They have such a good team. That would not be such a bad situation."
Gillick, according to sources, kept his demands high until recently, when it's believed that he decided he had no chance to trade equally high-priced Pat Burrell. Faced with the prospect of keeping both, Gillick began to lower the price for Abreu.
