The Yankees could make a play for John Lackey if teams aren't willing to pay him the expected rate of $15 million annually.
According to the New York Daily News, the Yankees are only willing to play Lackey $10-12 million per year.
The Angels don't appear inclined to pay Lackey what he wants and the Rangers, another interested party, are in the midst of an ownership change.
