When your champagne bottles are wearing gold chains, that’s when you know you’re partying with Jay Z.
On Monday night, the Jigga Man finished a concert in Antwerp, Belgium, and spent the rest of the night throwing a barnburner for client Robinson Cano, who recently flew to Europe to take in the sights and ring in his 31st birthday.
The Yankees infielder has posted images from the party to his Instagram account, which were picked up by Andre Vergara of FoxSports.com. If you thought Jay Z would have less champagne on his campaign ...
The New York Yankees have plenty of holes to fill this offseason. Fortunately for them, they will have the money to do so.
One of the most glaring holes for the Yankees is their starting catcher position.
It's safe to say that the Yankees did not think the loss of Russell Martin to the Pittsburgh Pirates would be as significant as it ended up being.
Last season, the Yankees were near the bottom in all offensive statistics at the catcher position. They ranked 26th in MLB among catchers in batting with a .213 average. Yankees ...
Mariano Rivera may have suited up for the last time, but Major League Baseball continues to find ways to honor the greatest closer ever.
Rivera was honored by MLB commissioner Bud Selig with the Historic Achievement Award prior to Game 2 of the World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
The award is not given out every year and is given at the discretion of the commissioner. The first award was given to Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire in 1998 for their part in the ...
According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the New York Yankees, despite trying to stay under a self-imposed $189 million payroll goal, are interested in big-name free agents this offseason. Among their targets: on-base machine Shin-Soo Choo.Earlier this month, Carlos Beltran, another high-profile free-agent outfielder, was brought up in conjunction with the Yankees. While his skill set would be an upgrade over Curtis Granderson, the October legend does come with age and durability concerns. Unfortunately for St. Louis Cardinals fans, those concerns were on display during Game 1 of the World ...
For the first time in as long as just about anyone can remember, the New York Yankees enter an offseason with more questions than answers.
Between retirements (so long, Mo and Andy), potential free-agent departures (will you stay or go, Robinson, Curtis and Hiroki?), injury recoveries (how's the foot, Derek?), aging former superstars (gettin' up there, CC and Mark) and whatever the heck is going to happen with Alex Rodriguez's suspension appeal, this is a team rife with problems, holes and unknowns.
To top all of that off, the Yankees are coming ...
The hot stove is already lit for the New York Yankees and the 2013 season hasn't even ended yet.
Among some of the targets the Yankees are reportedly looking at, former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is one of the newer names added to the list, per Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
Some other names listed in Heyman's report that have been seen as possible targets for the Bombers are catcher Brian McCann, Japanese stud pitcher Masahiro Tanaka and outfielder Carlos Beltran.
While the Yanks do like Choo a lot, according to Heyman's ...
As the Yankees move into their "transition" phase this offseason, it is apparent that a wide range of decisions must be made prior to Opening Day.
GM Brian Cashman will need to stay on top of changes at virtually every level of the organization.
He has already dealt with re-signing manager Joe Girardi, securing him through 2017. By doing so, the Yankees can direct their attention to putting a quality product on the field.
This article will take a look at the five most pressing items in getting a competitive lineup in place ...
With the offseason just around the corner, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman may be presented with the opportunity to pull off a few trades to improve his squad.
Prospects will more than likely be dealt in such trades, but a few prospects should be considered completely untouchable. Whether it's because of their minor league numbers or their sheer potential, certain Yankees prospects are just too valuable to give up.
As an older team, the Yankees will eventually need to rely on a few young players to act as cornerstones for ...
With the Los Angeles Dodgers signing Cuban second baseman Alexander Guerrero to a four-year, $28 million deal, they are no longer in the market for Robinson Cano.

The Dodgers appeared to be one of the top teams interested in Cano. Now, however, they will no longer pursue the All-Star second baseman.
Cano is known as the best second baseman in the game today, and all 30 MLB teams ...
According to Mark Feinsand of The New York Daily News, there is mutual interest between impending free agent Carlos Beltran and the New York Yankees.
As Yankees general manager Brian Cashman puts together a plan for the upcoming offseason, replacing Curtis Granderson with Carlos Beltran should be a starting point to improve a Yankees offense that was uncharacteristically below-average in 2013.
Due to a swell of injuries to everyday players and losses of key contributors from the 2012 team, New York ranked just 26th in baseball in team OPS (.683) and posted their ...
