NEW YORK If the Yankees don't land one of the premier starting pitchers available before next week's trade deadline, they could turn to this veteran left-hander.According to , the Yankees Pedro Martinez Jersey are showing interest in Pirates southpaw Jos Quintana.Quintana, 33, is in his 11th big-league season, his first with Pittsburgh.
