According to two people who have spoken with George Steinbrenner, his top choice to boost the Yankees' offense is Washington's Alfonso Soriano. The Yankees will more likely wind up with Abreu or Kansas City's Reggie Sanders. Discussions with the Royals about Sanders have advanced to the point where the two clubs are scouting each other. The Royals even had a scout at Double-A Trenton last night, watching the Yankees' affiliate, as first reported by si.com. Sanders has missed the last two games with a strained right groin, however.
