MLB Trade Rumors: New York Yankees Shopping Chan Ho Park

According to Jayson Stark of ESPN , the Yankees have been shopping reliever Chan Ho Park.

Don’t expect any miracles.

Of course the Yankees are shopping Park, he’s been terrible this season. Combine that with a thin free agent market for relievers and Yankees' general manager Brian Cashman thinks he’ll be able to get something for him.

It’s better to try this than to simply designate him for assignment, but the Yankees probably won’t get much in return. Trading him would only ensure getting rid of his salary.

Park is 37 years old and has a 5.57 ERA in 25 appearances this season.

He is pitching on a $1.2 million, one-year contract.

He isn’t going to come close to being either a Type A or B free agent so it’s not like he’s really worth anything at all.

The best thing you could say about Park right now is that he has a 1.93 ERA over his last eight appearances dating back to June 29.
