Who wants Brett Boone?

I was trying to come up with a place to send him and couldn't fathom anybody wanting him and his bloated contract. This was before the M's designated him for assignment. After they did this I wondered why the hell they would do that without a trade in place. Their explanation was that they wanted to force the issue with other teams. Good enough for me. So where does he go and how much of his salary do the M's eat? My guess is to the NYY and they eat $4 million. What do we get in return?
