The Bombers are open for business! Among the storylines: Who will nab the No. 5 spot in the rotation? Will Mariano Rivera be as dominant as ever? And what's up at catcher?
Derek Jeter ran Monday for the first time since breaking his left ankle in October, another step toward being in the Yankees' lineup on opening day.
Pitchers and catchers to Mets camp today. Check. Kate Upton on Tuesday. Check. Yankees pitchers and catchers same day. Check. Yep, good week ahead.
Steinbrenner feels that the Yankees have a "championship-caliber team" this season. He acknowledged that the club is sometimes criticized for fielding an older roster, but he likes its experience, "assuming we can stay away from injuries."
"I want everybody there," Cervelli said. "I want to do it one time. We're going to talk on the 13th. I'm not running away from you guys (reporters)."
It's been a rough stretch for Manti Te'o. And now he's right behind disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong on Forbes' list of "America's Most Disliked Athletes."
"I know in New York it's going to be larger than life, because I think this is the first time in many years that a Jewish ballplayer will be playing for the Yankees," Youkilis said.
"I would be surprised (if he didn't return)," Sabathia said. "I know how hard he works and how much he cares about wanting to play and wanting to help the team. So I look for him to do everything he can to get back on the field and try to help us.''
"At this point at least, we're deliberating just what we're going to do with the documents. We haven't said no. We haven't said yes," New Times editor Chuck Strouse said.
"I have nothing to hide," Ryan Braun said in a statement released by his representatives on Tuesday night.
Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain said he's received a text message from new teammate Kevin Youkilis and hopes whatever tension existed between the two is past.
"He's scared, because he thinks this is so unbelievably false, and he's wondering who could be behind this," a source told the New York Daily News of the latest PED allegations.
Sitting on a stage with their manager and GM during a fundraiser, Mariano Rivera and Mark Teixeira vowed to welcome Alex Rodriguez back to the New York Yankees following the latest drug allegations against the New York Yankees star.
"I don't comment on anyone until they speak first," Jeter said on Monday. "Let him address his situation before I comment on it. Let him speak first and then we'll talk about that."
The Yankees are good, not great. And that's probably not good enough, especially when you gauge how they gouge you at the turnstiles. $5 waters and $10 beers don't taste too hot when the team gets cold and old.
Cashman has to realize that his offense can still use a healthy, productive Rodriguez. It's easy to dismiss him as finished after the way the 2012 season ended in October, but let's not forget that there was a major injury present.
Alex Rodriguez has had Anthony Bosch personally come to his Miami home to inject performance-enhancing drugs, according to a report.
Travis Hafner and the Yankees have agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract that allows him to earn up to $4 million more in bonuses based on plate appearances.
The Yankees and their fans may want Alex Rodriguez to just go away. But if you think A-Rod will just up and retire, think again.
Yes, I understand how badly you want Alex Rodriguez to just go away. Unfortunately for all of us, it's just not that simple. And it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
All those worries can all be swept away. STAT has done something Carmelo Anthony wouldn't be capable of -- he's happy riding in the passenger's seat.
Whatever happens, the Yankees most certainly should not expect any help from A-Rod himself. He's not walking away from anything.
The Yankees have come to terms with free-agent Travis Hafner on a one-year deal, according to multiple reports. The power hitter will receive a salary in the vicinity of $2 million.
Once considered a player who could shatter the career home run record, Rodriguez has transformed from All-Star to annoyance for some in the Yankees organization.
Multiple sources have reported that New York is interested in signing the 35-year-old free agent as the club looks to find a more suitable bat to serve as designated hitter.
