Jeter ran up the dugout steps and into the outfield to warm up Thursday. This was the first of his many lasts this year: the opening practice of his final spring training with the Yankees.

Yankees captain Derek Jeter is saying goodbye to baseball and hello -- again, apparently -- to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Hannah Davis.

Following the Yankees' offseason retooling, Suzuki might be better off if he's traded. But he doesn't want to think about that possibility too much just yet.
"When you're looking in the outfield, it just looks like there's nowhere you can hit it," he said. "Anything that's hanging in the air I feel like we're going to track down."

The team said the store manager decides on which jerseys he thinks will be the best sellers, and they said Alex Rodriguez's model had not been available there for several years.
"Last time I checked, I didn't know that Kevin Long was the spokesman for the New York Yankees," McClendon said. "That was a little surprising. I was a little p----- off, and I'm sure Joe (Girardi) feels the same way."
