Yankees, Twins approaching deal for Jaime Garcia

The New York Yankees are close to acquiring pitcher Jaime Garcia in a trade with the Minnesota Twins, a source confirmed to ESPN's Buster Olney.

The source told Olney that the teams are at the "1-yard line" in terms of completing a trade that would have Garcia changing teams for the second time in less than a week. He joined Minnesota on Monday after the Atlanta Braves dealt him, catcher Anthony Recker and cash considerations for a minor league pitching prospect.

Yahoo! Sports first reported that the Yankees were close to a trade for Garcia.
