FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Yankees "checked on" Josh Willingham but didn't like the A's asking price. Willingham reportedly isn't going to the Pirates, either. It appears he'll either wind up in Boston or Atlanta. The outfielder is batting .248/.334/.445 with 15 homers and 56 RBI through 81 games this season.
