The 42-year-old closer says he has reached a decision about whether he will retire or return in 2013 but said he won't reveal it until "maybe October."
With the news that Mariano Rivera is likely going to hang-up his spikes following this season, Boomer & Craig briefly discussed the closers claim to the title of 'the greatest of all-time'.
When the dust settled, the storyline revolved around the point guard for the Nets.
Yankees' legendary closer Mariano Rivera hinted a retirement when he met with the media on February 20th when pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training.
Brian Cashman said that he has no issues with CC Sabathia's weight and spoke about Michael Pineda and the Yankees' DH plans.
Sweeny Murti breaks down the 12 most important questions for the Yankees going into Spring Training.
Jorge Posada was watching television when he saw speculation on which teams were interested in signing him as a free agent. "They put my face on different uniforms," he said. "And it didn't look good."
Jorge Posada's heart is what fans loved on the field, but it was also on display off the field, especially today, during an emotional statement to a crowded Yankee Stadium press conference room.
Bombers fans knew this day was coming. Yankees star Jorge Posada will announce his retirement at a press conference Tuesday morning, the team said Monday.
The Yankees have a serious problem. But don't worry, it's a good problem to have. Neil Keefe and Sweeny Murti discuss who should make the rotation this season.
Neil Keefe knew he would eventually have to write about Jorge Posada's retirement and say goodbye to the longtime Yankees catcher, so here is his farewell to "Number 20 ... Jorge Posada ... Number 20."
Verbal bouquets are being airdropped on Posada's doorstep. And to call them overstated is an understatement of the highest order.
Well, 2011 is coming to an end. A lot has happened over this past year…and it might be well to look back and reflect on a few things. So, in no particular order, here are just a few "significant" events which occurred during this past baseball season:
Despite the big-name signings of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, the Los Angeles Angels haven't distanced themselves from the 2012 Yankees.
The 42-year-old now awaits biopsy results after undergoing surgery to remove polyps from his vocal chords.
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera says he will have surgery Friday to remove polyps from his vocal chords.
Tim Tebow's solemn, silent knee next to his helmet should be an oasis inside the savage and self-serving expressions we see on Sundays.
It's inevitable. Eventually, "the immortal" Mariano Rivera will have to call it quits.
The Yankees interest in Oakland Athletics' All-Star lefty Gio Gonzalez appears to be rising and they have the prospects required to meet Billy Beane's high demands.
By agreeing to an extension without opting out, CC Sabathia again demonstrated why he'll be remembered as a beloved Yankee and not a mercenary -- like Alex Rodriguez.
You aren't supposed to make announcements on game days during World Series, but Neil Keefe couldn't wait any longer to do his second annual "What Went Wrong And Right For The Yankees" piece.
But are the "Champions" necessarily the best team? I still have nightmares about Pittsburgh's Bill Mazeroski hitting that home run off Ralph Terry in Game Seven of the 1960 World Series. The Yankees were better, but the Pirates were the champs!
Sweeny Murti joined Neil Keefe for an epic email discussion one last time in the 2011 season to talk about what went wrong in the ALDS and what we can expect this winter as the team changes for 2012.
It's not that A-Rod can't or won't be a productive player in the future; it's just that his days as A-ROD, THE ALL-TIME GREAT are over.
In a somber locker room, Jorge Posada became emotional when asked about his future. "It's tough," he said. "I really have no words."
