The Yankees are rumored to be in serious discussions with the Reds about acquiring Bronson Arroyo. However, Fan House is reporting that the deal may hinge upon how much of Arroyo's remaining contract that Cincinnati is willing to pay. Arroyo is due nearly $4 million for the rest of the season, plus $11 million in 2010 and a $2 million buyout or a $11 million option in 2011. There have been conflicting reports that the Yankees are confident in Sergio Mitre and aren't shopping intensely for another starting pitcher.
