Jorge Posada's decline has only left the Yankees with one option and that's to waive goodbye to the former Yankee hero. With Alex Rodriguez soon returning, there isn't anyone but Posada who should make way for him on their roster.
The best of the best remain steady, but check out the major shuffle below No. 3 in this week's Top 10.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi insists his team will recover from one of its most painful losses of the season. That could be difficult Tuesday night with struggling A.J. Burnett set to take the mound against Dan Haren, who has never lost in the Bronx.
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has stepped up his workouts while recovering from knee surgery. There's no official timetable on when he'll rejoin the team, though Joe Girardi hinted at an August 15 return on Sunday.
Part of Craig (the part that roots for the Bombers) thinks that the majority of Yankees fans are probably hoping A.J. Burnett goes out and gets bombed on Tuesday so they can close the book on the "A.J. Era" in New York.
Despite the fact that the Bombers started slowly against Boston in 2009 and still won the World Series is meaningless to Yankees fans -- because they want Boston's blood. It's quite understandable considering this is baseball's – if not America's – iteration of the Hatfields and McCoys.
Joe Girardi has a history with Jorge Posada -- and we're not talking about the Yankees' 2009 World Series win.
Major League Baseball will reportedly deal Alex Rodriguez a winning hand. According to the New York Post, A-Rod will not face a suspension, only a "serious warning," stemming from his alleged involvement in an illegal, underground high-stakes poker game.
The relief pitching that had been a strength for the Yankees this weekend failed them in the end. That's the way it's going this season against the Red Sox.
The Yankees were on the verge of leaving Boston with the division lead and a chance to salvage what had been a lost season against the Red Sox. Then Mariano Rivera blew a save in the ninth.
Jorge Posada's slumping bat has forced Joe Girardi to remove him from the Yankees' lineup before Sunday's crucial game against the Red Sox. Girardi prefers to continue giving chances to Eric Chavez and Eduardo Nunez.
CC Sabathia fell back down to earth during the Yankees' 10-4 loss to the Red Sox. Now with the series split and the teams tied for first in the AL East, Sunday will be the all-important rubber game.
Reliever Boone Logan struck out Adrian Gonzalez with the bases loaded to end the fifth inning, and the Yankees came back to beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Friday night to win their eighth straight game and take over the lead in the AL East.
Memo to reporters: don't mention illegal poker games if you expect to get anywhere with Alex Rodriguez.

Mark Prior's comeback may have hit another snag. The converted reliever suffered a bruised left forearm on Wednesday after being hit by a ball during batting practice.
Phil Hughes wanted to show the Yankees that they could trust him -- and his fastball. Consider it done, at least for one start.
Eddie Murray and Chili Davis had shared the MLB record with Mark Teixeira by homering from both sides in the same game 11 total times. Make it 12 for Mark.
Mark Teixeira set a major league record by homering from both sides of the plate for the 12th time and Phil Hughes pitched six innings to send the New York Yankees to their fifth straight victory, 6-0 over the fading Chicago White Sox.
