Heyman lists the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Royals, Rockies and Indians among the interested clubs and says there could be "quite a bit of competition" for the free agent reliever. Hanrahan was reportedly sitting in the 87-93 mph range, which is quite a bit lower than what he was throwing pre-Tommy John surgery, but Heyman added that the righty "looked fit and healthy." He figures to sign with someone soon.

Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports that the Yankees "continue to monitor" Joel Hanrahan.

Tue Nov 12 201322:29Joel Hanrahan (elbow) ready by late March?
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Joel Hanrahan (elbow) is expected to throw off a mound in about a month and be ready by late March.
It was reported last week that Hanrahan was ahead of schedule, but late March would be a pretty remarkable recovery. When he had Tommy John and flexor tendon surgery in mid-May, he was projected to be out as long as 16 months, putting him in line for a midseason return. The smart money would probably be on him returning somewhere in between those two estimates. Sherman notes that Hanrahan is willing to accept a setup job as he rebuilds his value.
