The Yankees have a $10.25 million club option on Nick Swisher's contract for the 2012 season. New York can certainly afford the salary, but there are a number of other options out there that they may find intriguing. Carlos Beltran will be a free agent and Grady Sizemore might be placed on the trade market. The Yankees are likely to look to improve their starting rotation, so the outfield may not be a priority.
