On occasion, Mariano Rivera took A-Rod to task, demanding that Rodriguez raised his game.
Legendary Yankees closer Mariano Rivera is looking to wave goodbye to baseball with one more World Series ring on his finger.
The shortstop went to Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday for a scheduled visit to see Dr. Robert Anderson, the surgeon who operated on his ankle last October. "He said everything's healed," Jeter said. "100 percent healed."
Martinez shared his memories of Rivera, beginning with his experience of facing Rivera as a member of the Seattle Mariners in the 1995 America League Division Series.
Rivera wasn't just the best closer in the history of baseball. His ability to defy logic for 18 seasons makes him one of the most unique athletes of all-time.
Sweeny Murti and I agree that Mo is the best Yankee since Babe Ruth. Even if we're wrong, that's the kind of stratospheric company he keeps when a man rises from mortal to mythology.
Mariano Rivera's family is on its way to Florida for the expected announcement that one of baseball's greatest relievers will retire after the season.
Rivera is getting set to close his career. The Yankees legend plans to announce this weekend that he will retire after the 2013 season.
Patrik Elias holds nearly every record in Devils history, and he hasn't suffered any decline in his game as his 37th birthday approaches.
Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso each homered and the St. Louis Cardinals, set to play the whole season without All-Star shortstop Rafael Furcal, beat the New York Yankees, 7-6, on Thursday.
It seems Mo will call it a career after one last season in the Bronx -- and the announcement is reportedly set for Saturday.
Mark Teixeira is confident that the New York Yankees can overcome key injuries likely to impact the team through the first month of the regular season.
"Let me say what I've been saying: $189 (million) is the goal," Steinbrenner said. ..."That is the goal, but in no way, shape or form will we sacrifice our commitment to field a championship-caliber team. That's not going to happen."
What a day in the life of the Yankees. Imagine what happens when the games begin to count.
Mark Teixeira is going to be out until at least early May with a strained right wrist tendon, the latest major injury setback for the New York Yankees.
Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes says he is scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday for the first time since being sidelined by a bulging disk in his upper back three weeks ago.
The media references to Teixeira's injury noted the involved area to be his wrist -– a joint, while also pointing to a diagnosis of strain. This doesn't totally compute.
Sure, the Yankees are banged-up. But the Mets have the Johan Santana mess -- plus an outfield by committee, and not a particularly great committee at that.
"I'm obviously worried about it, because wrists are very unpredictable," Cashman said. "Even if you can get a positive diagnosis back — which, of course, I'm going to hope for — that still doesn't mean we're out of the woods."
Teixeira underwent an MRI which revealed the strain. He was to head back to New York with team doctors to have the wrist looked at by a hand specialist on Wednesday, WFAN's Sweeny Murti reported.
Robinson Cano's father says he expects the New York Yankees to re-sign their All-Star second baseman rather than let him leave through free agency after the season.
A home run obviously generates runs as quickly as possible from a given at-bat, but might it be the case that teams that strive for too many home runs actually hurt their overall run production?
The hot injury of the young spring training season appears to be ulnar fractures. First it was Curtis Granderson, who throws right-handed but bats left. He was hit on the right forearm on February 24 by the first pitch he faced in a spring training game.
Despite his injury, Cashman appeared to be in good spirits. On his way to the hospital, he texted to WFAN's Sweeny Murti: "It was awesome."
