The Yankees are among the team interested in Tanaka, who was a Japan League record 24-0 in the regular season. He then closed out Game 7 as the Eagles won the Japan Series.
He was the right man at the right time for a club that had fallen on hard times before 1996. And he didn't mess it up when it would have been so easy to do just that.
The Yanks are still looking for a second baseman/third baseman type and are trying to bring the lineup "back to the top two or three offenses in the game. We need more work there."
"A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said that true New Yorkers are Mets fans," Granderson said. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."
"We got pretty close throughout the years, but I understand it's a business. It's a business on both sides. I would have liked to have played with him longer but you understand it's a business, guys move on."
Several people from other teams I've spoken to think the Yankees need Brett Gardner as insurance for an older and injury-prone outfield.
Funny how the twists and turns take you. Torre turned down a trade from the Mets to the Yankees in 1976 because he thought he'd have a chance to manage the Amazin's.

The Yankees are going to try to spin the loss of Robinson Cano to the Seattle Mariners in the best way possible. But there's no way to get around it. They have suffered a tremendous body blow.
When a player says he's about the money, he's usually about the Yankees. Except Robinson Cano, who will find himself most sleepless in Seattle.
It was a back-and-forth morning, but Robinson Cano is no longer a Yankee. The second baseman agreed to a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Mariners on Friday, according to WFAN/CBSSports.com insider Jon Heyman.
