Mackanin to Yankees

Pete Mackanin has accepted a job as a scout with the New York Yankees, according to scout.com. Mackanin had hoped to get on on-the-field job.

“We had a nice discussion,” said Mackanin to scout.com about the Yankees’ interest. "Fortunately they were looking for somebody, and I fit the bill."

The Yankees also hired Tim Naehring, the Reds former minor league field coordinator as a scout.
