Andy McCullough of the Newark Star-Ledger was told that the Yankees have not reached out to Aubrey Huff.

The Yankees are looking far and wide for corner infielders, but their search hasn't included Huff, who batted just .192/.326/.282 in 52 games last season. For what it's worth, the 36-year-old said last week that he's "pretty much retired."

Aubrey Huff said that he's "pretty much retired."

Huff, 36, was hoping to get an invitation to spring training from someone, but he's now content staying at home with his family. "I have no regrets," he said. "I love it. I'm having a great time with my wife and kids. I don't even have an itch to pick up a baseball bat. I wondered if I'd feel that desire when everybody reported to spring training, but I didn't." Huff's career, if it is indeed over, ended with a whimper, but he still would finish with a career .278/.342/.464 batting line and 242 home runs over 13 seasons.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that free agent Aubrey Huff remains hopeful of playing in 2013.

"He wants to play,'' said Huff's attorney, Ed Hayes. "He's working out. It's not a matter of physical issues. Nor is it a matter of mental issues, which he's addressed." There was a rumor in late November that the Diamondbacks were talking to Huff, but that never went anywhere. The 36-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor league deal after batting just .192/.326/.282 in 52 games last season while dealing with a knee injury and an episode of panic attacks.

The Giants will decline the $10 million option on Aubrey Huff's contract for 2013.

Nothing official yet, but it's a pretty easy call. Huff, who was limited to just 52 games this season due to an anxiety condition and a nagging right knee injury, will receive a $2 million buyout.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said on KNBR 680 in San Francisco on Tuesday that Aubrey Huff will likely be on the team's roster for the NLDS.

Huff has been limited to just 45 games this season due to an anxiety condition and a nagging right knee injury, but Bochy believes he could be useful as a backup first baseman and left-handed bat off the bench. He may start a game this week to shake the rust.
