MLB trade rumors: Rays interested in Yankees' Rob Refsnyder?

The Rays may be interested in Yankees utility man Rob Refsnyder, according to a report from the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Tompkin.

A few things:

Yankees may want to move Refsnyder: Right now, Refsnyder doesn't have an obvious role. The only way he cracks the big-league roster -- at least it seems -- is if the Yankees move Ronald Torreyes to shortstop full time to take over for Didi Gregorius (strained shoulder) for a month. That would give Refsnyder a chance at coming in as the second base backup.
