The Yankees have a longstanding interest in Keppinger and currently have Eduardo Nunez and Jayson Nix as the only backup infielders on their roster. Keppinger, who turns 33 in April, hit .325/.367/.439 with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 40 RBI in 418 plate appearances last season for the Rays, and would represent an insurance policy behind Derek Jeter (ankle) and Alex Rodriguez.

According to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, the Diamondbacks have interest in Jeff Keppinger. Keppinger, a 32-year-old free agent, hit .325/.367/.439 with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 40 RBI in 418 plate appearances this past season for the Rays. He would presumably start at third base for the Snakes.
