New York Yankees Would Be Willing To Sign Jarrod »
Via Joel Sherman of the New York Post: Since the Yankees have been shopping in the vintage aisle, I decided yesterday to check if they had any interest in Carlos Delgado or Jarrod Washburn. They have zero interest in Delgado. They did check into Washburn earlier in the offseason to see if he was returning after missing last year. Matters did [...]
Russell Martin Not 100 Percent, Jesus Montero Wants »
The Yankees catching job is going to be one of the biggest focuses after the starting rotation this spring. So it comes as no surprise that both Russell Martin and Jesus Montero have reported to spring training nearly a week early. Both spoke to reporters today. Martin, who is recovering from both hip and knee surgery, admitted that he’s [...]
A Retired Star: Andy Pettitte’s Top 10 Playoff »
I wanted to do this last week, but I never really got the chance. Anyway, he is one last (probably) post on Andy Pettitte.

The Game: ALDS, Game 2 vs. Texas The Date: October 7, 1999 Pettitte’s line: 7.1 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 [...]
Robinson Cano: How Much Is New York Yankees Second »
Coming off a career season, New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano has hired agent-to-the-stars, Scott Boras, with a big payday in 2014 on his mind. Yes, I know what you're thinking: "That's three years away. We'll worry about it then." Right now, the Yankees' decision to buy out Cano's final arbitration years is the bargain of the century. [...]
New York Yankees: Andy Pettitte’s Most Important »
It was the game that could turn things around for the 1996 New York Yankees in the World Series against the Atlanta Braves. After losing the first two games at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees won the next two games in Atlanta thanks to a solid David Cone pitching performance in the third game, and an improbable home run by Jim Leyritz in the [...]
New York Yankees: Memories of a Special Place »
I attended my first game at the "new" Yankee Stadium last summer, folks; it's hard to believe the "old" one has been leveled and the reality of the whole thing is still sinking in. It was called "The House That Ruth Built"—now reduced to a pile of rubble while a new, greed-fueled edifice begins to grace the [...]
New York Yankees: To Understand the Rotation Woes, »
If you're looking for a scapegoat as you stare at the Yankees' funny-if-it-weren't-so-sad starting rotation, you might as well go with Joba Chamberlain. The man's already a human punching bag at this point, so I doubt he'll mind.Had Chamberlain developed as the team expected, the departure of Andy Pettitte wouldn't feel like such a cataclysmic [...]
New York Yankees: Fox’s Joe Buck Sticks It To »
Late in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLV, the camera flashed New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez sitting with his girlfriend Cameron Diaz. Diaz was feeding A-Rod popcorn at the moment and Fox’s Joe Buck was elated to have caught the slugger being feed like a baby. It was typical A-Rod awkward. At that moment in the [...]
MLB 2011: New York Yankees Preview »
Well, the Super Bowl is over, and that only means only thing: the countdown to Opening Day has just begun. There are 51 days left until then (as of Monday, February 7). That gives us just about a month and a half to prepare. The Yankees have had an interesting offseason; and by interesting, I really mean disappointing. Highlighted by the failed [...]
New York Yankees: Alex Rodriguez, Cameron Diaz and »
Alex Rodriguez has been known to upstage a major sporting event in the middle to draw attention to himself, and the 2011 Super Bowl was no exception. While the Green Bay Packers battled the Pittsburgh Steelers, Alex Rodriguez was sitting in his luxury box with his beau Cameron Diaz. Surely, Rodriguez must have realized that he would be seen when [...]
