Did the Yankees overpay for catcher Brian McCann? Sure, but they had a hole to fill and they moved quickly.
According to WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman, the Yankees are close to wrapping up a five-year, $85 million deal with catcher Brian McCann. Deal would include an option year and full no-trade clause.

The deeper the mess surrounding Alex Rodriguez goes, the worse it becomes. Put in other terms: same garbage, different day.
On Twitter, Gammons wrote that he misspoke and called it a "a stupid, poorly worded comp."
Joseph Tacopina, one of A-Rod's lawyers, said that Rodriguez will only testify if MLB Commissioner Bud Selig agrees to testify.

He definitely has the game, if not the gravitas, to lead the Bronx Bombers for the next six years. Just not 10.

Shawn "Jay Z" Carter reportedly held a "secret meeting" with the Mets on Monday to discuss the blueprint for free agent Robinson Cano, according to the New York Post.
According to Jon Heyman, the five-time All-Star is still looking for $310 million over 10 years from the Bronx Bombers, while New York is currently offering slightly more than half that.
The way the Yankees see it, Jhonny Peralta could fill many roles. The veteran shortstop apparently has the Bombers' attention.

Defensive specialist Brendan Ryan is coming back to the Yankees to provide insurance at shortstop, according to WFAN and CBSSports.com baseball insider Jon Heyman.
