Yankees Put Moves on Red Sox Reliever

     According to sources, including a tweet from New York Times writer David Waldstein, the New York Yankees will sign former Red Sox pitcher Hideki Okajima. Over the past few days, it was rumored that the two were in discussions. This morning, the grapevine stated that discussions were in "final stages." 
     The reliever will be signed to a minor league deal, and in all likely hood compete for a spot on the roster in Spring Training '12. Okajima's stats are mediocre. The 36 year old tossed a whopping 246 innings during his 4 year tenure with the Red Sox, and the lefty also had a 3.11 ERA to go with those innings.  Although he spent most of the 2011 season in Triple-A, Hideki Okajima is ready to return to his rare form. Could this be a move to bolster the bullpen for Mariano Rivera's inevitable departure or was it a move to just stick it to the Red Sox?
