The Yankees have added a handful of aging veterans to the pitching staff this offseason, but the Bronx Bombers may be looking to another over-the-hill hurler in Kevin Millwood.

New York, which penned Bartolo Colon, Mark Prior and Freddy Garcia to deals this past winter, reportedly offered Millwood a deal after scouting the 36-year-old righty at UC-Irvine on Wednesday, according to Jon Heyman.

Millwood is reportedly looking for a $4 million deal this spring, despite going 4-16 with a 5.10 ERA with the Orioles in 2010. The 14-year veteran went 13-10 with a 3.67 ERA in 2009 with Texas and put up a league-best 2.86 ERA in 2005 with Cleveland, despite going 9-11.

Ivan Nova and Garcia are expected to be the Yankees' No. 4 and No. 5 pitchers.
