As noted over on SB Nation.com, the New York Post's Joel Sherman is reporting that the New York Yankees are set to acquire Cleveland Indians outfielder Austin Kearns for a player to be named later.
Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer notes that Kearns was removed from Friday night's game in the 7th innning in anticipation of the trade and was making $750,000 this season.
