After adding Carlos Beltran and Jacoby Ellsbury to their outfield, the New York Yankees are open to trading Brett Gardner, according to sources.

The Yankees haven't ruled out holding onto Gardner, but they view him as a valuable piece in addressing one of their needs -- second base, third base and pitching.

In addition to Beltran and Ellsbury, the Yankees also have Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells in the outfield.
