After suffering a fractured hand due to being hit by a pitch, it was learned that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez would be out until the latter stage of the regular season. That instantly put the Yankees in the discussion to acquire San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley, but the Bronx Bombers should stay away.According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees likely won't be able to get Headley due to A-Rod's impending return in September and his contract, which runs through 2017. While ...
The New York Yankees have been linked to San Diego Padres third-baseman Chase Headley (h/t Ken Rosenthal, FOX Sports), but the 28-year-old would be an unnecessary addition to the Bronx Bombers.Even though Alex Rodriguez will be out for up to eight weeks with a broken hand, the Yankees don't need to splurge on an over-priced replacement like Headley.Headley is a quality player who is having a career-year at the plate, and manager Joe Girardi could put him at multiple positions in the field.However, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark, the Padres ...
10.5 games back and reeling in late July, the Boston Red Sox come to the Bronx this weekend hoping to salvage their season and make up some ground on the American League East division-leading New York Yankees. New York is 12-9 so far in July and is coming off a West Coast jaunt that left them battered and bruised. The Yankees made a late-game comeback to beat Seattle on Wednesday and win that series, though they finished the road trip at a dismal 2-5. To make matters worse, Alex Rodriguez ...
Sometimes it’s too easy. The New York Yankees need a third basemen until Alex Rodriguez returns in September, and the San Diego Padres are shopping Chase Headley. Guess what position he plays? Third base. ESPN’s Buster Olney linked the two sides on Wednesday:
The Yankees will be considering all 3B options, including Chase Headley, who'd make sense for them on a lot of levels.— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 25, 2012
What are those levels? Well for starters, he is enjoying the best season of his career at the age of 28. ...
Happy 37th birthday to the New York Yankees' $275 million man Alex Rodriguez. While on the subject of giant numbers, let's discuss the number 763. Of course, MLB fans identify that number as what it takes to overcome reigning home run champion Barry Bonds, who sits at a career mark of 762 long balls. A large majority of those are believed to be hit with the aid of performance enhancing drugs. In the eighth inning of the Yankees vs.Seattle Mariners game on July 24th (strangely enough, Barry Bonds birthday) Alex ...
Perhaps you thought the New York Yankees were done shopping once they landed outfielder Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners. And then Alex Rodriguez had to go and break his left hand. With that, the rumors began to spread that the team would be in the market for a third baseman. One major name on the list of players they might be interested in included Chase Headley.And frankly, I think the Yankees should stay away. Thankfully, they are likely to look elsewhere. From Joel Sherman of the New York Post:An official ...
Almost 100 games into what has been a great season so far, the New York Yankees will need to compete without 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriquez due to an injury to his hand (Yahoo! Sports). Since the Yankees have been playing such great baseball this year, they have a little wiggle room with a seven-and-a-half game lead in the American League East. This is not the time for the Yankees to hit the panic button, although losing A-Rod may hurt, he is not the same 40 to 50 home run hitter ...

When Andy Pettitte went on the disabled list with a fractured ankle in late June, everyone speculated as to when the Yankees were going to make a trade to land a pitcher.Instead, the team re-inserted long-reliever Freddy Garcia and the Yankees have done just fine with him in Pettitte's place, as the Yankees remain in first place in the A.L. East.According to Mike Mazzeo of ESPN, Pettitte's x-rays on July 15 came back good and he was on track to start getting prepared to return to the team.Pettitte no longer ...
