Now that the 2014 spring training is fully underway, The New York Yankees can officially begin their quest to return to the top of the American League East standings and the playoffs.
This camp is certainly going to have a different feel than many of the previous visits to George M. Steinbrenner Field.
This is the first camp since 1995 that Mariano Rivera won't be an active part of.
This is also the last camp that captain Derek Jeter will ever be a part of.

When the New York Yankees traded for Michael Pineda in January of 2012, visions of a future top-of-the-rotation arm floated throughout the Bronx. In 2014, providing 20-plus starts and league-average production would be an accomplishment for the 25-year-old.
Since arriving in New York, Pineda hasn't thrown a pitch in the big leagues. The flame-throwing righty has been teetering between the disabled list and minor league rehab assignments since injuring his shoulder two years ago.
In a perfect world, Pineda would re-emerge as the dominant, rotation-changing force he profiled as during his rookie ...

Derek Jeter may not be the only New York Yankees player riding off into the sunset following the 2014 campaign.
38-year-old Alfonso Soriano told George A. King III of The New York Post that "It depends on how I feel" when deciding on whether or not to play beyond the 2014 season: "If I am healthy I will play [in 2015]. If not, I will let it go. It depends how I feel."
Soriano is without a clear-cut role on the 2014 Yankees following the signings of both Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran. Soriano ...

Even for a team like the New York Yankees, spring training is where under-the-radar stars can be born.
Generally speaking, the Yankees go into spring workouts every year with their 25-man roster all but set. Their high-profile stars make up almost the entire 25-man group—save for a reliever or two—so spring training is really just for getting their players back into game shape.
Not this year, though. The Yankees have several openings in the bullpen and a reserve-infielder role that are up for grabs.
The 40-man roster and group of non-roster invitees are chock ...

Derek Jeter made it official on Wednesday: Yes, he is retiring after 2014. Good luck trying to stop him, because it doesn't sound like the New York Yankees captain is going to pull a Brett Favre.
Why exactly is Jeter ready to walk away from baseball? There's still a shred of mystery there. But during a gathering with the media on Wednesday, it boiled down to the phrase of the day: "The time is right."
"There are other things I want to do. I look forward to doing other things," said the 39-year-old ...
