Scott Sizemore is among nine players agreeing to minor-league contracts with the Yankees, giving New York another option for Alex Rodriguez's replacement at third base.
MLB is seeking a speedy dismissal of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez's lawsuit challenging a season-long suspension.
Tampa officers reported Rodriguez was driving a red Mercedes the wrong direction on a one-way street. Tests determined his blood-alcohol to be 0.10 percent.
Paul Cartier's worlds are about to collide. He is the organist for both the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum and the Yankees, so it's only fitting that he will play the organ on Wednesday night when the Islanders host the Rangers.
"No," Brunner said when asked if he's heard of the Yankees' captain. "...No. The only baseball I know is (Justin) Verlander … because of the Tigers last year."
"We each signed Japanese pitchers this week," Alderson said. "They're paying $155 million and we're paying our guy month to month."
Masahiro Tanaka follows Aaron Boone, Dave Righetti, Luis Sojo, Bob Turley and Robin Ventura as notable Yankees to wear the number 19.
The Yankees have traded left-hander David Huff to the Giants for cash, two days after he was designated for assignment by New York to make room for Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka.
"The game is pitching," Jeter said. "If you have great pitching, you always have an opportunity to win. From everything I've heard, he's going to be quite an addition to our team."
If the Yankees sign Drew, he won't start at shortstop -- Jeter certainly isn't moving positions. The 30-year-old could move over to third base -- or even second -- though he's only played shortstop in his eight-year career.
Babe Ruth's 1923 World Series championship pocket watch, for decades thought to be lost to history, is coming to a New York City auction, where it's expected to fetch at least $750,000.
As a longtime union leader, Glavine finds it "hard to believe" that Alex Rodriguez is claiming the MLBPA didn't do its job when they represented him in the grievance that lowered his 211-game suspension to 162 games.
If Tanaka and his Beethovian six-pitch mound symphony can turn into a No. 1 or No. 2 rotation option immediately, his richness in texture and rhythm can transform last year's also-ran into a contender. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
It seems there is at least one player who is unimpressed by the Yankees' offseason spending spree. Of course that player is on the Red Sox -- the world champion Red Sox he might add.
It seems the Yankees were steadfast in their budgetary discipline. Until they weren't. And thank goodness for that. Not only are we spoiled Yankees fans better off, but so is baseball.
Baseball seems far away; this latest snowstorm and recent blasts of frigid air certainly remind us that it will be a while before we hear "Batter up!" And yet, two names have not really gone away.
Asked to deliver a message to New York fans in English on Thursday, Tanaka said he plans to let his performance on the field do the talking.
Last year we had Rex Ryan on the beach with a curious tattoo. This year we have Alex Rodriguez posing with a mariachi band in Cancun.
On the heels of landing prized free-agent pitcher Masihiro Tanaka, Yankees GM Brian Cashman gave Boomer and Craig a call Thursday morning to comment on the process.
In a 'related' story, the Mets avoided arbitration with Lucas Duda - how 'bout that?!
The Bronx is rejoicing! Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka has signed a seven-year deal with the Yankees, the team announced Wednesday.
Ex-Met Rusty Staub was just as rough on Alex Rodriguez, saying "the thing he did with the players association was pathetic."
During the back and forth between the 40 or so union members on the call not one player defended A-Rod, and that was quite an indictment considering they have frequent disagreements on all kinds of issues, the report said.
According to a report, the 25-year-old is expected to select his team by Tuesday or Wednesday, leaving enough time for details to be finalized before the Friday deadline.
There are similarities between Peyton Manning and Derek Jeter: the drive to win, the injuries that put upcoming performance into question, and the simple desire to perform at the highest level.
