Buster Olney: The New York Mets Should Trade David Wright Now
In my few months covering the New York Mets for Rant Sports, there has been one thing that I’ve been pretty vocal about over the past several months: If the New York Mets let Jose Reyes walk (which they should), they need to trade David Wright as well. Buster Olney feels the same way. An [...]
TweetSwitching Opinions: The New York Yankees SHOULD Look Into Jonathan Broxton
Prior to the start of the postseason, I brought up the idea of the New York Yankees making a run at relief pitcher Jonathan Broxton. The former Los Angeles Dodgers closer battled injuries and ineffectiveness beginning in the second half of 2010. Interestingly, everything was going great for Jonathan Broxton until a June 27th outing [...]
TweetAndy Martino Talks New York Mets and Bullpen Reinforcements
I love it when the guys that cover baseball for a living hop onto my bandwagon. Maybe that’s taking things a bit too far because I’m sure I didn’t get the bandwagon moving in this case, but I’m going to give myself a little pat on the back anyway. Its been well documented that the [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Can Say Goodbye to Jonathan Papelbon
Well, it looks like the first domino has dropped during the 2011 Hot Stove season. Jonathan Papelbon will move from Beantown to the City of Brotherly Love after signing a four year deal worth $50 million to close games for the Philadelphia Phillies. New York Yankees fans were never really scared of Jonathan Papelbon and [...]
TweetWhat Should the New York Yankees Do About Yoenis Cespedes?
I’ve got a kickball game to make it to, so I’m going to have to be quick here. Anyway, in case you missed it on Sunday/Monday, the baseball world was blasted by the newest Cuban sensation, Yoenis Cespedes – or perhaps better known by one of his nicknames “La Potencia”. Yoenis Cespedes is a 26 [...]
TweetFormer New York Yankee Melky Cabrera Finds A New Home…Again
Former New York Yankees center fielder – and World Series champion – Melky Cabrera will play on his fourth team in four seasons in 2012 after the Kansas City Royals traded him to the San Francisco Giants for left-handed pitcher Jonathan Sanchez. I’m not sure Melky Cabrera was ever destined for stardom, but it is [...]
TweetNew York Mets Announce Changes to Citi Field
Ever since the New York Mets moved to Citi Field in 2009, there has been a lot of issue with the dimensions and the heavy favor toward pitchers. We first heard a few months ago that the New York Mets were in fact considering balancing out the ballpark prior to 2012. Well, here are some [...]
TweetPassing On Grady Sizemore Is Probably A Wise Move for the New York Mets
After having his option declined by the Cleveland Indians, Grady Sizemore is now a free agent. The New York Mets – in search of an upgrade in center field – automatically become a speculative landing spot for the former All-Star. Andy McCollough of the Star Ledger tweets that a Grady Sizemore union with the New [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Will Speak With C.J. Wilson
This shouldn’t be much of a surprise. The New York Yankees are usually pretty good about evaluating all viable options and C.J. Wilson should be no different. Dan Martino tells us that Brian Cashman has every intention of meeting with the Texas Rangers’ (former) ace. I’m not really buying into this much at all. Even [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Trade Watch: Fishing for Josh Johnson
The New York Yankees are always the favorite to take home the Hot Stove title each season. Unfortunately, that championship banner only consists of a sheet of paper and nobody cares about it by the time the first of June rolls around. This offseason is no different as most people – whether its Buster Olney, [...]
