They could trade for him during the 10 day designated for assignment window.

Now that Sabean can't use his typical lowball tactics in a possible trade here, several teams could be interested in Woody, meaning the Yankees could throw us a Class A or Rookie league prospect for Rueter (And assumption of his entire contract). If the Yankees are willing to add Nomo to their team in a minor league deal, Woody would be a good fir for their dismal pitching staff.
