New York Yankees Re-sign the Captain

Finally, the standoff between the New York Yankees and Derek Jeter has ended.  Nobody expected anything different.  The complete terms of the contract are pretty complicated so you can read a little more of the gritty details here.  The amount of money paid over the life of the deal varies on several factors, but he [...]

Red Sox Set to Acquire Adrian Gonzalez

The Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres have essentially completed a deal that will send Adrian Gonzalez to Boston in exchange for a package of prospects that includes RHP Casey Kelly, 1B Anthony Rizzo, OF Reymond Fuentes and a player to be named later.  The completion of the deal is pending Gonzalez signing an [...]

New York Yankees Making Progress

“Making progress” understates the first bit of news because it involves the New York Yankees and Mariano Rivera agreeing to a deal.  The deal is believed to be for two years and $30 million.  That figure means he’ll be working with the same salary as he has for the past three seasons.  Even though Mariano [...]

New York Yankees: Derek Jeter & Cliff Lee

Derek Jeter’s camp met last night with some members of the New York Yankees’ front office including Hank and Hal Steinbrenner.  It seems as though each side came out of these meetings more optimistic than they were going in.  Obviously, this is good.  There are some rumblings around the web that the Yankees may be [...]

Zack Greinke to Consider New York Yankees?

Troy Tulowitzki Close to Inking Big Deal

Javier Vazquez Lands In Miami

Two-time former New York Yankee Javier Vazquez has signed on with the Florida Marlins.  His contract is a one-year deal worth $7 million.  How much do you want to bet that he comes back in 2011 and deals?  I would not be surprised at all.  To be fair though, it took Vazquez a couple of [...]

New York Yankees Make Some Moves

The New York Yankees still haven’t signed any of the big names we’ve been anticipating, but they have made several small moves with the hope of adding to the bullpen.  None of the following additions deserves his own post but each one will get a bullet instead. Neal Cotts, LHP – he’s missed substantial amounts [...]

Could New York Yankees Consider Jose Reyes?

Let me start this off with a disclaimer: I have not seen anything linking the New York Yankees to Jose Reyes, nor am I necessarily looking for the Yankees to acquire him.  It is simply a thought that popped into my head and I have decided to throw it out to you guys. First of [...]

New York Yankees and Mariano Rivera

The Derek Jeter negotiations have dominated the majority of the headlines in terms of his next contract with the New York Yankees.  It is almost easy to forget that the Yankees have another legend to keep in pinstripes:  Mariano Rivera.  There was not a lot of buzz surrounding the negotiations between the two parties, but [...]
