Description: WEEI's Rob Bradford hears that the Yankees could be closing in on a deal for veteran DH Travis Hafner. | Insight: The plan was for Kevin Youkilis to move into the DH role once Alex Rodriguez returns from hip surgery.

Hafner's swing is tailor-made for the short right field porch at Yankee Stadium. The only question is whether or not he can stay healthy (missed 96 games due to injury in 2012). | | |
