Ed Price reports:

The Yankees have interest in free agent Kevin Mench as a fifth outfielder, according to a person with knowledge of discussions who asked not to be named because no deal has been struck.

Mench is a career .271 hitter with a .326 OBA and .465 SLG. In 101 games for the Brewers last season, he hit .267/.305/.441. He's spent nearly all of his career at the two corner outfield positions.
