East Notes: Nationals, Yankees, Orioles, Victorino

The Nationals had their eye on left-hander J.P. Howell for quite some time but the Dodgers swooped in on him earlier today.  After losing three lefties in Tom Gorzelanny, Sean Burnett, and Michael Gonzalez, the Nats could still add a southpaw, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.  Here's more out of the AL and NL East..

• Yankees GM Brian Cashman told reporters, including Anthony Rieber of Newsday, that he isn't interested in signing a reliever.  "I cannot talk about players on the free-agent market," Cashman said. "But I am not looking for bullpen help, I can tell you that."
• Free agent Joe Saunders says that he wants to return to the Orioles in 2013 but is ultimately leaving the process in the hands of his agent, writes Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun.  Saunders also has interest from the Angels, Mets, Twins, and Mariners and says that he wants to play for a contender.
• Shane Victorino, who signed a three-year, $39MM deal with the Red Sox this winter, says that a return to the Phillies was his first choice, writes Matt Gelb of the Phildelphia Inquirer.
