Rafael Soriano says he’d be willing to be a setup man for the Yankees. It takes two to tango, however, and Buster Olney says that the Yankees aren’t particularly interested in dancing:

Heard this: As of 6 p.m. on Thursday, the Yankees are not interested in Rafael Soriano. They’ve seen a lot of $ squandered on set-up men ... Soriano would have to make himself absurdly cheap -- on a very short-term (1-year or 2-year deal) -- before NYY would even consider him

So there’s that.

Tough market for Soriano. I guess 45 saves and a 1.73 don’t go as far as they used to.
