The Yankees have until Friday to finalize a deal with Hiroyuki Nakajima, the Japanese shortstop on whom they won the bidding rights with a posting fee of $2 million.
Sources say Nakajima is unlikely to play for the Yankees in 2012.
The Yankees are unable to offer anything more than a utility role and also are unlikely to meet his salary demands.
