The Yankees now have a top priority of finding a right-handed hitting outfielder.

That may lead New York to not signing left-handed Raul Ibanez, who is believed to be looking for a home within the next week or so.

The Yankees have three lefty outfielders in Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson and Ichiro Suzuki.

"It's not deep," Brian Cashman said of the free-agent pool and trade market for a right-handed outfielder.
