New York Yankees Trade Watch: Pedro Alvarez
As we all know by now, the trade between the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners that sent Jesus Montero to the AL West is finalized and official. The next order of business for Brian Cashman is filling the vacancy at designated hitter. He spoke about this a little bit the other day and [...]
TweetBrian Cashman and New York Yankees Shift Focus to Offense
With the Jesus Montero for Michael Pineda deal official, Brian Cashman will turn his attention to the offense – specifically filling the designated hitter role that was left vacant by last week’s swap with the Seattle Mariners. In a conference call with LoHud’s Chad Jennings, Cashman discusses some plans to address the DH opening. Cashman [...]
TweetCody Ross Is On the New York Mets’ Radar
Even though nobody expects the New York Mets to make much noise in 2012, Sandy Alderson and Co. are still doing what they can to make the team as competitive as possible. The latest target is outfielder Cody Ross. The 2010 playoff hero is obviously not the type of player that is going to carry [...]
TweetThird Base Is the Next Order of Business for the New York Yankees
It was over six months ago when I first suggested that the New York Yankees permanently assign Alex Rodriguez to the designated hitter role. There were a couple of roadblocks preventing that transition from happening. Among them was the presence of Jesus Montero and the lack of confidence in his ability to do anything worthwhile [...]
TweetBuster Olney Discusses David Wright’s Future With the New York Mets
David Wright and my desire for the New York Mets to trade him is a topic that I have discussed on several occasions since July. I don’t think the New York Mets will be ready to contend before David Wright is an unquestioned free agent (the New York Mets hold a $16 million option for [...]
TweetNew York Mets Showing Interest In Starting Pitcher Jeff Francis
You can correct me if I’m wrong on this, but didn’t the New York Mets say that they were not adding any more pieces to the 25-man roster? If so, what is up with the report that they are interested in Jeff Francis? I suppose the team could sign him to a minor league deal, [...]
TweetPhil Hughes Still Plays A Vital Role In the New York Yankees’ Success
Following the (unofficial) moves that paired starting pitchers Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda with the New York Yankees, a glaring weakness has been turned into a glowing strength. With the first four spots in their rotation accounted for the New York Yankees will now choose between Phil Hughes, A.J. Burnett and Freddy Garcia for the [...]
TweetNew York Mets Avoid Arbitration With Mike Pelfrey
Right-handed starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey is one of several New York Mets players eligible for arbitration in 2012. Instead of taking a case to the arbitrator though, Mike Pelfrey and the New York Mets agreed on a one-year deal worth $5.675 million. I’ve made no attempt to hide my dislike for 6’7″ Witchita State product. [...]
TweetWould the Baltimore Orioles Be Wise to Sign Adam Jones to An Extension?
Whether you follow the Baltimore Orioles closely or not, there is a good chance that you have come across the trade rumors involving the center fielder. Off the top of my head, I can remember that the Atlanta Braves were linked to Adam Jones, but I’d imagine that there were at least a few other [...]
TweetJohnny Damon Is Not the Answer At Designated Hitter for the New York Yankees
With the New York Yankees’ designated hitter spot now vacant, the speculation over who will replace Jesus Montero has begun. Carlos Pena is one option that has been discussed while fans and media have mentioned several other names. One name that has generated some buzz is Johnny Damon. I have to be honest in saying that [...]
