Per ESPN Rumor Central
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The New York Yankees, intent on adding another pitcher for 2010, have inquired about the availability of Chicago Cubs' right-hander Carlos Zambrano, according to a report by Mike Puma in today's New York Post.

Puma adds that the Cubs' asking price for Zambrano is too high, even though he had a few stints on the disabled list in 2009. As a result, the Yankees are more likely to go the free agent route and pursue the likes of Jason Marquis, Joel Pineiro and/or Ben Sheets.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Carlos Zambrano is not interested in waiving his no-trade clause to go to the Yankees, according to his agent, Barry Praver.
Big Z is owed $53.75 million over the next three years. With a full no-trade clause, there's a decent chance he will stay in the Windy City through the duration of the pact.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
