Jason Bay, Mark DeRosa Signings Should Bring Down »
We are almost upon the New Year of 2010. A new decade is about to dawn upon us. But, when that decade comes, the Yankees will begin it as the reigning champions of baseball. They will also be still in search of a left fielder for the 2010 season. Just this week, two more options went off the board for the Yankees in the left field [...]
Are the Yankees Showing Interest in Jermaine Dye for »
I've done numerous stories on the Yankees' need for a left fielder. From Jason Bay, Matt Holliday, Johnny Damon, Mark DeRosa and Xavier Nady, they've all been mentioned and in some way linked to the Yankees. There is another name to add to the mix for the Yankees: Jermaine Dye. Now, there are multiple sources with different stories to the Yankees' [...]
Should the New York Yankees Consider Xavier Nady for »
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a wonderful holiday weekend. But now, it's time to get back to the baseball hot stove of the winter. We all know the Yankees are searching for a left fielder for 2010. We also know the Yankees are almost at their budget number for payroll, which is somewhere around $200 million, so they aren't looking to [...]
Is Mark DeRosa Bronx-Bound If Yankees Don’t »
We have all been aware of the changes the Yankees made so far in the nearly two months removed since they won the 2009 World Series. They brought in Javier Vazquez, Nick Johnson, and Curtis Granderson, while Hideki Matsui and Phil Coke departed to other teams. As of right now, Johnny Damon's status is unknown.

With Melky Cabrera Gone, Yankees Need To Bring Back »
Only two months removed from winning the 2009 World Series, the Yankees have had a very busy offseason. They re-signed Andy Pettitte to a one-year, $11.75 million deal. They made a three way deal to land Curtis Granderson, while sending Austin Jackson and Phil Coke to the Tigers and Ian Kennedy to the Diamondbacks. They signed Nick Johnson to a [...]
Yankees Re-Acquire Javier Vazquez from Braves for »
Late last night, Mark Feinsand of the New York Post said Brian Cashman and the Yankees were very close to making a deal for a starting pitcher. Around 8:00 AM EST this morning, Cashman made a deal to bring back a starter most Yankees fans remember. The Yankees re-acquired former All-Star Javier Vazquez. They also got left-handed reliever Boone [...]
New York Yankees May Look Into Mark DeRosa After Nick »
The Yankees signing of Nick Johnson basically means the end of Johnny Damon's tenure with the Yankees. Especially since Damon's agent, Scott Boras, has not backed off his contract demands of at least three years and at least $13 million per season. Unless Damon does what Alex Rodriguez did back in 2007 where he came personally to the Yankees to [...]
Yankees Consider Matt Holliday with Johnny »
Tomorrow, the Yankees will finalize a one year, $5.5 million deal with new designated hitter Nick Johnson. The addition of Johnson likely spells the end for Johnny Damon, who was going to be asked to play as part-time DH and part-time left fielder. With Damon likely out of the picture now, there is still an opening in left field that needs to be [...]

Most of the articles I've published about the Yankees' offseason plans have been based off newspaper articles and rumors written on baseball Web sites. This will be my first article making a possible suggestion about a player the Yankees haven't looked into yet. Before, I had written about the Yankees talking to Nick Johnson about possibly being [...]
