The New York Yankees and their ravenous fanbase have a dream. A dream that ends with Alex Rodriguez never again wearing the pinstripes and no longer being part of the Yankees organization, banned for life from the "House that George Built."
But does it really have to stay a dream? Or is there a way to make this dream become reality?
Where there's a will, there's a way.
The hard part is finding that way, which becomes incredibly difficult with Rodriguez due an exorbitant amount of money between now and the end of the ...
The New York Yankees aren’t going to be a playoff team whether they acquire Michael Young from the Philadelphia Phillies before the Major League Baseball July 31 trade deadline or not.
Despite recently acquiring Alfonso Soriano from the Chicago Cubs, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports the Bronx Bombers are still calling the Phillies on Young:
Philadelphia has made Young available, according to Buster Olney of ESPN, and it’ll be interesting to see if the Yankees decide to make a move. They could use an upgrade at third base—pending the future of ...
The New York Yankees received a pleasant surprise on Sunday when Derek Jeter homered in his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list from a quad strain.
It was the first home run by a right-handed hitter for the Yankees since before the All-Star break.
Along with Jeter’s return, other Yankees such as Jayson Nix and Curtis Granderson are progressing towards coming back as well.
That is great news for the Yankees, who had seemed to be deflating since the All-Star break.
But as the Yankees' veterans continue to return, we are reminded of ...
Even after acquiring Alfonso Soriano in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, the New York Yankees should remain active in the trade market.
While the veteran outfielder will provide some much-needed help in the power department, especially from the right side of the plate, the team still needs more. The squad struggles to score runs and it needs additional offensive help in order to contend for a playoff spot.
One possible addition would be Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Michael Young. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the team had ...
Major League Baseball's decision on suspensions regarding the Biogenesis scandal are expected to be announced in the near future, and a report by Joel Sherman and Ken Davidoff of the New York Post suggest that Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees could be handed a suspension that sees him miss the rest of this season and the entire 2014 campaign.
Such a suspension would give the Yankees no options at third base for the 2014 season, as David Adams has proven he isn't ready for an everyday job and both Jayson ...
Since the days of overproduction, the baseball-card industry has definitely seen its share of highs and lows. However, the same could be said for the New York Yankees. Since the market for this team is so huge and the Yankees have such a rich history and a tradition of winning, cards boasting ballplayers on this team, in particular, can go for the finest of prices.
Let's take shortstop Derek Jeter for example. Jeter has lived out a wonderful career that many current players will only have the pleasure of dreaming about. ...

Alfonso Soriano made his return to New York Friday, as he played for the Yankees for the first time since 2003.
After being traded from the Chicago Cubs, Soriano received a hero's welcome at Yankee Stadium. Fans were hysterical that he found his way back to The Bronx almost a decade after he left, and they let him know with this ovation.
Soriano wasn't just greeted by fans, however, as GM Brian Cashman had only good things to say about him during a press conference in which he addressed the acquisition of ...
The New York Yankees are already a pretty old team. But trailing three other teams in the American League East means the Yankees might have to get older to keep up.
They've already added Alfonso Soriano to bolster the lineup. And it looks like the Bronx Bombers have their eyes on Michael Young of the Philadelphia Phillies as well.
From Jon Heyman of CBS:
Young, who has seven homers, 31 RBI and a .278 batting average, would be a good fit for the Yankees and Red Sox, who've shown interest, and the Reds ...
Alfonso Soriano is the newest member of the New York Yankees, as the Chicago Cubs agreed to deal their 37-year-old outfielder to the Bombers for Class-A right-hander Corey Black and $6.8 million.
Soriano, a player with a WAR of 0.7 this season, was holding the Cubs back from using younger players and continuing their rebuild. The Yankees, just 2.5 games out of the Wild Card race in the American League, can make much more use of him.
On the season, Soriano has clubbed 17 home runs, driven in 51 and produced a ...
