According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Yankees called the Rays inquire about right-hander James Shields. Can't say Brian Cashman doesn't leave any stone unturned. While Shields' name has floated in rumors lately, the Yankees were told that he is not available. Olney presumes that the Rays wouldn't be willing to deal the 29-year-old right-hander to either the Yanks or Red Sox. And we can't blame them for that.
