The Yankees are in need of a designated hitter and are only going to spend between $1 million and $2 million on the position. The spending limit likely means they can't afford Carlos Pena or Johnny Damon, but they might be able to sign former Yankee Hideki Matsui. Matsui was the MVP of the 2009 World Series with New York. There has been some contact between the Yankees and Matsui's representatives.
