Corner infield trade market

Among a few other clubs, the New York Yankees could be in the market for help at first base and/or third base. With Mark Teixeria back on the disabled list with more wrist problems, Kevin Youkilis out 10-12 weeks and Alex Rodriguez's return still up in the air, GM Brian Cashman could check the league for an everyday option at one of the two positions, and if it's one over the other, third base may be the bigger need with Lyle Overbay on the roster to man first base.
