Teams are no longer petrified of pinstripes. And bringing in a pitcher whose character is in question to a team that prides itself on character is not the answer.
The trade for Aroldis Chapman makes the Yankees almost invincible from the seventh inning on. It's the first six innings that are still the problem.
A woman charged with shaking down New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has pleaded guilty to extortion, perjury and criminal impersonation.
The 33-year-old Ryan hit .229 this year, when he was limited to 47 games due to strains of a calf and his back.
