Report: Yankees interested in Braves top prospect Jose Peraza

The New York Yankees are reportedly looking to the National League in an effort to bolster their second base situation. 

New York, currently starting veteran Stephen Drew at the keystone position, has strong interest in the Atlanta Braves' consensus top prospect. 

The Yankees recently sent a scout to watch 20-year-old Jose Peraza - ranked as the Braves' No. 1 prospect by both Baseball America and MLB.com - according to George King of the New York Post. 

Peraza, an international signing out of Venezuela in 2010, hit .339/.364/.441 with 60 stolen bases across two levels last season. He swiped 64 bases in 2013 and began this season at Triple-A Gwinnett.
