It’s no secret that the Yankees are looking for pitching. According to Jon Heyman, the front office has been in touch with virtually every key free agent. That said, with supply at a minimum, it’s possible that the headline pitchers might prove too costly. Instead, the Yankees could turn to reclamation projects, pitchers looking to rebuild value on short-term deals. C.J. Wilson fits that profile, but does he make sense for New York?
