While Dustin Ackley has been pretty disappointing in his major league career, the Yankees have long been interested in acquiring him from the Mariners. Last year it came out that the Mariners wanted Bryan Mitchell in return for Ackely, but the Yankees said no thank you. While Ackley has spent time in the outfield, New York would obviously move him back into the infield in hopes that his left-handed bat will finally come around, though his .194/.233/.331 batting line won't bring much offense over Stephen Drew. Cashman seems to like him for some reason, but not enough to give up anything Seattle wants. Don't expect any deal to happen any time soon here, unless the Mariners are now willing to take something less than Mitchell.
