Hot Stove: Yankees reportedly have interest in Johnny Damon, Carlos Pena

01.16.12 at 8:07 am ET

By Jerry Spar

According to multiple reports, the Yankees have reached out to former Red Sox Johnny Damon and Carlos Pena in an attempt to find someone to fill their void at designated hitter.

Damon, 38, hit .261 with a .326 on-base percentage and .418 slugging mark in 150 games for the Rays last season. Pena, 33, hit .225/.357/.462 in 153 games for the Cubs in 2011.

The Yankees need a DH following the departure of Jorge Posada and the trade of Jesus Montero to the Mariners.

Damon would be a good one year acquisition. He still moves well and the new stadium fits him well.

Count on it. They will probably get Pena for his walks and power. He is still a great fielding 1st baseman and could give Texeira a rest.
