Tonight, around 7:30 p.m. ET, Alex Rodriguez will step in the batter's box at Yankee Stadium for the first time since the 2012 postseason.
The crowd reaction to the three-time American League Most Valuable Player—two of those awards (2005, 2007) came in a New York Yankees uniform—and key contributor to the 2009 World Series championship will be fascinating.It's highly likely that the crowd reaction will be a mix of cheers and jeers leaning much more toward the boo birds lighting up the sound in the park. Simply put, New York has ...

After getting swept in the Amercian League Championship Series last fall, the New York Yankees went into last offseason with a lot of work to do.
Knowing Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter would likely be out until the middle of the 2013 season, the Yankees needed to make upgrades. They also needed to fill holes in the outfield and at catcher.
However, they also needed to do so on a budget, as ownership wanted to cut the team payroll to $189 million for the 2014 season, which limited their options and caused ...

Just when you think you've heard it all, MLB Tonight commentator Larry Bowa had some interesting comments to say about New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia.
Starting from the 44-second mark, Bowa talks about how Sabathia has lost too much weight and how previous big-boned pitchers had success because they could "drive off those legs."
Even Yankee fans have gotten in on the action:
While those do create some laughs, the drop in weight is considered (by one talent evaluator) to be the source of Sabathia's problems, according to Nick Cafardo of ...

Heading into a weekend series with the red-hot Detroit Tigers, the 2013 New York Yankees season is spiraling out of control.
Despite welcoming back Alex Rodriguez to fill an extreme void at third base and receiving a representative start from CC Sabathia on Wednesday night, the fringe postseason contenders lost a heart-breaking game in extra innings.
Considering the litany of injuries and setbacks suffered by the 40-man roster this season, a 57-56 record through 113 games isn't poor, but it is hardly good enough for a franchise that earmarks October as merely ...

The New York Yankees (like 99 percent of the league) were quiet on July 31, choosing to make no trades by the deadline and instead wait until the waiver period to make moves.
Players can be acquired through waivers for the remainder of the season, though they won't be eligible for postseason rosters if acquired on (or after) September 1. This makes it all the more important for teams like the Yankees to make moves sooner rather than later.
There really hasn't been much waiver news on the Yankee front. Joey Nowak ...
