The Yankees have talked to the agents of Derrek Lee and Scott Rolen and Brian Cashman, the Yankees' GM, has tweeted that he would love for Chipper Jones to come out of retirement; which Chipper says won't happen.
2. Percy Harvin, wide receiver for the Vikings, is expected to be traded to the Seahawks on Tuesday in exchange for the Seahawks first round draft pick. This comes a year after Harvin requested a trade due to dislike for the organization's structure.
