John Harper of the New York Daily News reports that the Braves have asked the Yankees about the availability of Eduardo Nunez.
"They need offense, they need a shortstop because they don’t want to bring (Alex) Gonzalez back, and they like Nunez a lot," Harper's source said. "They know the jury is out on him defensively, but they think his offense is strong enough that he could move to the outfield if he can’t be their long-term answer at short." Harper says the two sides haven't discussed any other names, but he opines that Jair Jurrjens could be involved since he's known to be on the block and the Yanks need pitching. It would take a lot more than Nunez to net Jurrjens, though, so he'd have to be part of a package for the right-hander.
