Jon Heyman of SI.com thinks the Yankees are "probably the early favorite" to sign impending free agent C.J. Wilson. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Thursday that Wilson would be "coveted heavily" by the Yankees, as well as the Red Sox. The left-hander will be the biggest free agent pitching prize, so it's no surprise the teams with the biggest payrolls would be after him, and it just so happens that each club has a need for starting pitching. Wilson could land a nine-figure contract.
