It's unclear as to what role the New York Yankees will play in the July 31 trade deadline, but general manager Brian Cashman will likely be looking to make improvements to a team he hopes can fight for a spot in the playoffs.
Debate his logic if you must, but going younger isn't necessarily the best thing to do when in the thick of a playoff race. For the future, yes, the team needs to get much, much younger. But throwing inexperience into a four- (possibly five-) team race in the ...
News hasn't been good for the New York Yankees on the injury front this year.
However, recent news from Matt Ehalt of ESPN New York reveals outfielder Curtis Granderson could return by the end of July.
"We're getting close. I started hitting in the cage recently and doing some stuff soft toss," Granderson said at his Grand Kids Foundation luncheon in Manhattan on Monday. "I have been throwing. I've been running. I've been doing all my defense. Just got to get the baseball stuff underneath me in terms of hitting, getting on ...
The New York Yankees have stumbled into the All-Star break still trying to recover from a slew of injuries that have ravaged many players on their roster through the first half of the season.
Derek Jeter came back and was injured again—an almost fitting occurrence for what has been the storyline of the year for the Yankees.
But these injuries have opened the door for at least one new young player to get his feet wet.
Zoilo Almonte, who was once a mainstay on this list, was called up to the Bronx and ...
Major League Baseball's All-Star teams are set and ready to take the field at Citi Field in Flushing, N.Y., on Tuesday. While some of the players are veterans with a wealth of experience, others are first-timers who have never been a part of such an event.
The 2013 season has seen an incredible amount of players over the age of 35 who are stepping up and rejuvenating their careers. While some have made the All-Star team this season and others have not, what they have accomplished is still impressive considering their ...
Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reports that the Colorado Rockies are interested in acquiring New York Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes, with plans to use him as a reliever rather than as a starter.
Earlier in the week, Rosenthal had tweeted that the Yankees were "aggressively shopping" Hughes, along with fellow right-hander Joba Chamberlain.
The fact that the Rockies are interested in Hughes as a reliever is compelling for two reasons.
First, it means that Hughes' versatility could bring more suitors to the Yankees as the July 31 trade deadline rolls around. If this is ...
The saga that has become the relationship between third baseman Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees organization continues.
UPDATE: Monday, July 15, at 5:55 p.m. ET by Tom Kinslow
Alex Rodriguez admitted to skipping a rehab start without the Yankees permission, per Andy McCullough of The Star-Ledger.
Rodriguez confirmed that he did not attend Friday’s game with Class-A Tampa. The no-show upset team officials. Despite the lingering divide – one made obvious by general manager Brian Cashman’s expletive-laden rebuke earlier this summer – Rodriguez attempted to provide a positive spin on the ...
Mariano Rivera received another parting gift during his retirement tour on Friday, but this one didn't come from an MLB team, it came from Delta Airlines.
That's right, the airline dedicated a 757 plane to Mo, placing his number and signature near the cockpit of the plane.

Derek Jeter's first half of the 2013 MLB season is over after just eight innings.
The New York Yankees shortstop was returning from the disabled list Thursday when he injured his right quad. This comes less than a game into his 2013 debut after an ankle injury kept him on the DL prior to that point.
Jeter's right quad tightened up in the sixth, which caused his early exit. He'll get an MRI later.

It looked like the injury could have been nothing at all for a while, ...

Let's take a closer look at this American League matchup from a betting perspective, while offering up a prediction along the way.Begin Slideshow
Derek Jeter made his triumphant return to the diamond on Thursday in front of an eager crowd of New York Yankees fans hoping for a boost from the fan favorite and veteran leader.
What they saw, however, was a 39-year-old shortstop whose body isn’t holding up well to the rigors of the game.
Granted, the broken ankle that kept Jeter on the shelf since the playoffs last season could have happened to anyone, but his return was as anticlimactic as anything Yankees fans could have expected.
As reported by NJ.com, Jeter left the ...
