We've inquired about Jake Westbrook:

... but the Yankees did inquire about Indians starter Jake Westbrook. They were told he is not available, but that, like everything else, could change by Monday afternoon.

Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun speculates that we might have a place for Jeff Conine.

George King of the New York Post talks about potential deals with the Phillies and Pirates, as well as the value of Proctor:

With the Phillies and Pirates lowering their price on the players they are trying to move, the likelihood of the Yankees making a deal before the trading deadline is better than it has been in weeks.

And there were indications the Yankees may include Scott Proctor - whom the Phillies love - in the right transaction. If Proctor is moved, another reliever is a must.

Until the price came down on Bobby Abreu, Jon Lieber, Cory Lidle and Tom Gordon, GM Brian Cashman wasn't going to get something done with the Phillies. Ditto with the Pirates, who are shopping Craig Wilson, Salomon Torres, Roberto Hernandez, John Grabow, Sean Casey and Jeromy Burnitz.

As far as the Pirates, an NL source explained the Yankees are interested in getting Wilson and Burnitz to spin them off in a three-way trade.

I had seen Proctor bashed quite a bit (especially before this season) and I never really said too much about him. This year, he has been valuable to us. But, it would certainly be neat if he ends up helping us net something bigger...
