Roy's year-old back problems scare the Yankees

Smilin' Ken and JPM are reporting that the Yankees are close to a deal with the Diamondbacks for Dan Haren, and are out of the Oswalt talks because they're scared of his back problems.

They are far less interested in Astros right-hander Roy Oswalt due to his history of back trouble, sources say.
