Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets today that the New York Yankees are ever so quietly, are letting teams know that RF Nick Swisher is available.
Swisher has two years and $15.75 million remaining on his contract, and could give a club a versatile 1B/DH/OF option with switch hitting as a bonus.
Swisher isn't likely to hit for much average, but his career .357 on-base percentage and .371 OBP in 2009 will be attractive to several clubs, or at least those who value the statistic properly.
Might San Francisco or Arizona take a look at Swisher to play first base? Washington, who insists on playing Adam Dunn in the outfield, could also be interested.
