Yankees, Blue Jays, And Red Sox Interested In Matt Garza

It was reported yesterday that the Boston Red Sox would attempt to acquire starting pitcher Matt Garza from the Cubs. Today David Kaplan of the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the better half of the American League East will throw their hat in for Garza, as the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees are also reportedly interested in the starting pitcher’s services.

Garza, 28, posted a 10-10 record in his first season with the Cubs in 2011. He recorded a 3.32 ERA in 31 games for Chicago, while striking out 197 batters in 198 innings pitched. The club acquired the right-hander just last winter, and still have him under control through the 2013 season, however the team is under new management after hiring former Boston Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein to run their baseball operations.
