According to Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com, the addition of Bill Hall will not have an impact on the Yankees' pursuit of Eric Chavez. Maybe not, but it's hard to believe the Yankees would give Chavez anything more than a minor league deal given his lengthy injury history. The 34-year-old was limited to just 58 games with New York last season due to a fractured foot, batting .263/.320/.356 across 175 plate appearances. The Yankees are also reportedly pursuing Raul Ibanez, Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon.

Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com reports that the Yankees are still interested in re-signing Eric Chavez. The Yankees are also reportedly talking to Bill Hall, but it's not expected to have much of an impact on Chavez. According to Marchand, Hall would receive a minor-league deal while Chavez would get a big-league contract. The 34-year-old was limited to just 58 games last season due to a fractured foot, batting .263/.320/.356 across 175 plate appearances.

Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Yankees would like to re-sign Eric Chavez. The Yankees are expected to re-open talks after failing to reach a deal with Japanese infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima. The 34-year-old Chavez was limited to just 58 games last season due to a fractured foot, batting .263/.320/.356 across 175 plate appearances. Heyman reports that the Nationals, Rays and Padres have also expressed interest.

Jon Heyman of SI.com reports that the Yankees are interesting in re-signing Eric Chavez. Chavez missed nearly three months of action this season after fracturing his foot and wasn't terribly productive when healthy, batting just .263/.320/.356 across 175 plate appearances. But, he's decided to continue playing in 2012 and evidently the Yanks aren't ruling out a reunion.

Eric Chavez wants to play in 2012. The 33-year-old continued to battle injuries this season while posting an underwhelming .263/.320/.356 slash line across 175 plate appearances, but major league teams might see him as a high-upside backup capable of providing a veteran clubhouse presence. Look for Chavez to land an incentives-driven one-year contract.

Eric Chavez's agent Scott Leventhal said his client will make a decision regarding retirement "at some point" this winter. Chavez, an impending free agent, is still mulling over whether to return in 2012. The 33-year-old missed nearly three months after fracturing his foot in early-May, but was useful in a part-time role with the Yankees, batting .263/.320/.356 with two homers, 26 RBI and a .676 OPS over 175 plate appearances. If he opts to play again, Leventhal said his client would be interested in returning to the Bombers in 2012.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Eric Chavez is "leaning heavily" toward retirement. The 33-year-old Chavez missed nearly three months after fracturing his foot in early-May, but was useful in a part-time role with the Yankees this season, batting .263/.320/.356 with two homers, 26 RBI and a .676 OPS over 175 plate appearances. The six-time Gold Glove Award winner has a .267 batting average, 1,318 hits and 232 homers over parts of 14 seasons in the big leagues.

Eric Chavez belted a two-run homer in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. Chavez got one more start at third base while the Yankees gave Alex Rodriguez (thumb) more down time. The veteran infielder has predictably been injury-prone this season, sporting a .273/.329/.381 batting line over 139 at-bats.

Eric Chavez went 3-for-6 with a home run and four RBI in New York's 18-7 win in Chicago on Wednesday. Chavez was one of four Yankees with at least three RBI tonight, while the home run was his first in pinstripes. Since coming off the disabled list on July 26, he's gone 7-for-24 (.292) with six RBI. There are worse AL-only league fliers to take while Alex Rodriguez is on the disabled list.

Yankees activated INF Eric Chavez from the 60-day disabled list. As expected. Chavez will start at third base Tuesday and bat eighth against Mariners' right-hander Doug Fister. The oft-injured infielder was batting .303/.410/.424 with two doubles, a triple and six RBI over his first 39 plate appearances before fracturing his left foot in early May.
