New York Yankees: Top 5 Choices for Captain If Derek »

To be clear, in no way do I think the New York Yankees and Derek Jeter will part ways. He’s been the face of the franchise for over a decade, free from controversy, and a consistent performer. The Yankees want and need him back. Only Miguel Tejeda and Orlando Cabrera would be adequate free agent replacements if you ask me. Followed by Jhonny [...]

MLB Hot Stove: New York Yankees Re-Sign One Player »

No it’s not Jeter, Rivera or Pettitte and as far as I know Cliff Lee has never been a Yankee so who could it be? As I type with complete and utter nausea, the player is Sergio Mitre. No, this is not a joke, as the Yankees have signed Mitre for another year at $900,000 to bring his talents back to the Bronx. What talents convinced the Yankees [...]

MLB Hot Stove: New York Yankees Looking At Wrong »

Rumor has it that the Kansas City Royals have been dangling 2009 CY Young winner Zack Greinke as trade bait to the New York Yankees. This seems sketchy when you consider that Greinke has a no-trade clause in his contract, with the Yankees being first on the list. Greinke has also suffered major depression and anxiety issues that have interfered [...]

Derek Jeter: 10 Better Ways for Yankees To Spend »

Derek Jeter and the Yankees are still locked in one of the strangest contract negotiations in recent memory.Given the decline that the Yankee shortstop experienced in 2010, the line drawn in the sand by the Yankees is pretty fair. Paying $15 million a year for a player who's going to hit .270 with limited range in the infield is pretty [...]

The True Story of Wally Pipp »

  Wally Pipp is baseball’s answer to Rodney Dangerfield. And nearly 100 years past his prime, he’s still getting no respect. The mention of Wally Pipp conjures visions of laziness and fake headaches and calling in sick. As in, that guy “Pipped” out, he’s not coming to work. Or he’s pulling a [...]

New York Yankees Need Reinforcements: Must Recruit »

The Yankees battled the Tampa Bay Rays all season for the top record in the Majors. They lost out in the final days of the season, but still made it further in the playoffs than their division rivals. As expected, the Yankees swept the Justin Morneau-less Minnesota Twins, but their AL Championship Series performance was what was unexpected. They [...]

New York Yankees Should Stay Away from Zack Greinke »

Most of the hot stove rumors that have surrounded the Yankees have either involved Derek Jeter or Cliff Lee. This past week, a new name circled the rumor mill, and to be truthful, it's a rather shocking one. According to Yahoo's Jeff Passan, Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke would be willing to be traded to the Yankees if a possible trade would [...]

Nobody Believes Zack Greinke Will Be a New York Yankee »

On top of this morning’s rumor that the Yankees are wary of Zack Greinke, there are a few other rumblings that I wanted to pass along. The first one is from Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe: My Zack Greinke source indicates there’s no way he’d play in New York. The second is from Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated: The Yankees [...]

Cliff Lee Rumors: Not Taking Offers Until Winter »

Update: According to Wallace Matthews of ESPN New York, this NY Post report is not true, quoting a source that said, “Nothing’s happening there yet,” adding, “It sounds like a lot of BS being put out by the agent.” The source also told Matthews that the Yankees haven’t made an offer to Lee either. Actually, [...]

Andy Pettitte Will Likely Return to New York Yankees »

Andy Pettitte gave the Yankee universe a scare early this winter when he told reporters that he was leaning toward retirement. Another scare came after the Rangers had supposedly reached out toward the native Texan. Now we get our first piece of good news. Via Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated: "According to a friend of Andy Pettitte’s, 'he [...]
