Yankees have made a contract offer to ace CC Sabathia, who has until Monday to decide whether to opt out of the $92 million and four years remaining on his current deal.
The New York Yankees have exercised contract options for next season on second baseman Robinson Cano and right fielder Nick Swisher.
You aren't supposed to make announcements on game days during World Series, but Neil Keefe couldn't wait any longer to do his second annual "What Went Wrong And Right For The Yankees" piece.
Brian Cashman's three-year, $6 million pact with the Yankees is less than a week from its expiration date. But he isn't too worried -- perhaps for good reason.
What the Yankees probably didn't plan on with CC Sabathia's opt-out situation looming? Robinson Cano's agent asking for a re-tooled contract, according to the New York Post.
Robinson Cano still has two years and $29 million left on his current contract with the Yankees, but word is the All-Star second baseman is looking to have his deal re-worked.
It's fair to say Yankees fans don't want to see CC Sabathia pitching elsewhere next season. Especially not with the Boston Red Sox.
With the 2011 World Series coming to a conclusion, CC Sabathia's days as a Yankee could be numbered.
The former Red Sox GM was introduced Tuesday as the new president of baseball operations for the Cubs, who hope he can work the same magic for championship-starved team as he did for Boston.
The triple homer World Series game used to be the exclusive territory of the Yankees—Babe Ruth in 1926 and again in 1928, and Reggie Jackson in 1977. Welcome to the club, Albert Pujols.
According to David Ortiz, all the Big Papi-to-Yankees talk last week was much ado about nothing.
Has baseball actually gotten over the drug and alcohol problems of its past? It's time for those in charge to bring major baseball into the 21st century and adopt stronger clubhouse policies.
Assembling more than 4,000 autographed baseballs, it turns out, may not have been as tough a task for Dennis Schrader as proving the collection was a world record.
So Cashman went to work on changing the story. Now, as we wait for word on what we all assume will be a new contract to bring Cashman back as Yankee GM, here are some of the key moves he made over the last three seasons:
The Yankees are better off without the services of free agent slugger David Ortiz. A mix of controversy, age and lineup inflexibility are reasons why he shouldn't don pinstripes.
Big Papi in the Big Apple? Sick of the "drama" unfolding in Boston, soon-to-be free agent David Ortiz admitted on Wednesday that he'd consider jumping ship from the Red Sox to the Yankees.
Assuming he exercises his opt-out clause, can the Yankees afford to re-sign CC Sabathia? The better question is: can they afford not to?
With Yankees general manager Brian Cashman's contract expiring -- and Theo Epstein reportedly jumping ship from Boston to Chicago -- another will-he-or-won't-he discussion is about to heat up.
Craig has been known to be very 'touchy-feely.' So it came as no surprise when he expressed a desire to wrap his arms around David Ortiz and give him a big bear-hug to welcome him to New York.
Craig had plenty to talk about on Thursday, beginning with the prospect of 'Yankees killer' David Ortiz (who will become a free-agent this offseason) donning the pinstripes.
Revelations following the Red Sox's famous 2011 collapse paints an image of a ballclub that betrayed their manager and their own professional pride.
While people are falling all over themselves to add more wild-card teams to the MLB postseason mix, how about assessing what currently exists?
Guess what, Yankees fans? The brain behind nearly a decade of Boston teams won't be in the same division. Heck, he won't even be in the same league.
Five days after the season ended too soon for an organization determined to win the World Series every year, Girardi cited "luck" 10 times as one of the reasons the offense repeatedly failed to get big hits from sluggers Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher.
Will he opt out or won't he? CC Sabathia has said repeatedly how much he loves New York -- but is that enough?
