New York Yankees Exec Brian Cashman Made a Mistake »
Last offseason, the Yankees were in the market for an outfielder that could hit lefties. The tricky thing was that Johnny Damon was a free agent. The Yankees didn’t want Damon, though. They didn’t want to deal with the hassle of dealing with his agent Scott Boras and certainly didn’t want to give in to his multi-year contract [...]

Chad Jennings of the Journal News is reporting that the Yankees have designated outfielder Randy Winn for assignment to make room on the roster for Curtis Granderson who is returning from a groin injury. “I was ready.

New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians: Series Preview »
Photo by Reuter Images I know last night’s loss to the Twins was a bit deflating, but let’s not overlook the fact that the Yankees took two of three on the road from a very good Twins team. Also worth noting, Target Field looked fantastic. You know what other stadium looks fantastic? Yankee Stadium—and that’s where [...]
The Yankees Just Came Off Their Toughest 20 Game »
The Yankees just came off a stretch of 20 games where they really not all that impressive, posting a 9-11 record.

Just When it Looked Like Javier Vazquez Turned a »
Early in the season, Javier Vazquez was just terrible. Whether it was his mechanics or his nerves, something was derailing his return to the Bronx. A little over two weeks ago, though, things started looking up. He held the Tigers, ranked third in OBP in the AL, to just two runs over seven innings. He had a one batter, but impressive, performance [...]

Here is a video of some Yankees fan in Minnesota eating a pork chop out of Kim Jones of the YES Network’s hand. It’s stupid and the guy is probably drunk, but she is hot and this is really funny. Be sure to watch the entire thing through the slow motion replay. (Click on the headline to watch this video ). Most Commented [...]
New York Yankees Notes: Derek Jeter, Alfredo Aceves »

It’s amazing how good the Twins have been over the years, but the Yankees never have a problem beating them. The games are always close, but like yesterday, the Yankees always prevail.

With Curtis Granderson Coming Back, Who Should Go for »
Curtis Granderson will be back in the Yankees’ lineup on Friday, looking to help out an offense that has been rather anemic recently. Granderson will slot back in center, moving Brett Gardner to left. As of a week or so ago, that would also mean moving Randy Winn back to the bench, but the past few games the playing time has been going, [...]
Chad Gaudin Signed by New York Yankees: Updated »
There is an old saying in baseball about never having enough pitching depth. The Yankees just got another lesson in that. The Yankees released reliever Chad Gaudin in spring training this year because they thought his price tag was not worth his depth. That’s when they thought they had plenty of depth. Then they got bad news yesterday about [...]
